Big Purple marches past Sing Song '94
MBy Kelly Davidson
Student Roporter
y" r mm till n
rA ftcr winning Sing Song In the
JfkMixcd Voices dlvlsibn for three
Straight years the Dig Purple
Band's decision to withdraw from
competition this year caused mixed
feelings on campus.
MThc band's decision to withdraw
pTcmmed from the negative rc-
I j5onsc it received throughout the
years it participated.
JgjBnnd president Becky Glass
senior music major from Corsicana
sSid "I'm disappointed because
SJng Song was a time we could get
together and work together to put
oft a good performance."
MAlthough traditionally only social
cfubs and the four classes have
competed in Sing Song three years
ago Big Purple requested and was
granted permission to compete with
trie classes in the Mixed Voices
division.
Dressed as Mickey and Minnie
Mouse Big Purple members made
their debut at Sing Song 1991 win-
ning the Overall Success Award in
tlTc Mixed Voices division with
their tribute to Walt Disney. Big
Purple continued to win the Mixed
Voices division at Sing Song in '92
and '93 rendering the band unde-
feated in its years of competition.
But at the Saturday evening per-
formance of Sing Song 1993 when
Big Purple won a third time some
crowd members and students
booed.
The next semester Big Purple
withdrew from competition in Sing
Song.
'Musically I don't
think we had any
advantage
Karry Young
Big Purple's absence from Sing
Song this year evoked mixed emo-
tions from students band members
and Sing Song spectators.
Sarah Barnes high school junior
from Mansfield attended the per-
formance during which Big Purple
was booed and said she thought it
was a poor display of sportsman-
ship. "I don't think they should
have quit because they won fair and
square" Barnes said.
But some did not think Big Pur-
ple's victories were fair. Hazel Fill-
mon dorm director of Sikcs Mall
said Big Purple's musical experi-
ence placed classes at a disadvan-
tage in the Mixed Voices division.
Fillmon said she understood why
some students wanted Big Purple to
quit Sing Song for this reason.
However some Big Purple mem-
bers think the band's musical ability
was not an advantage.
Band member Karry Young
junior psychology major from Min-
eral Wells said Big Purple's musi-
cal ability was exaggerated. "Musi-
cally I don't think we had any
advantage" Young said. "Just
because we can play instruments
doesn't mean we can sing. The only
advantage we had was we were
used to working together."-
Band member Steve Wilson
sophomore music education major
from Columbus said other Sing
Song groups had just as much musi-
cal talent as Big Purple.
"Wc have some really talented
people in the band but there arc tal-
ented people elsewhere" Wilson
said. "There arc hundreds and hun
dreds of other people out here who
were in band or choir In high
school."
Even though Big Purple's Sing
Song act has disbanded other
options were available to members
who wish to perform in Sing Song.
This year Some members opted
to play in the Jazz Ensemble which
provided entertainment between
Sing Song acts. Fillmon suggested
Big Purple members who want to
compete can join another Sing Song
act.
"Every one of the band members
is in a class so they could partici-
pate that way if they wanted to"
she said.
Young said some band members
did compete with classes or clubs
this year. However she said compe-
tition itself was not what she missed
most.
"Our main purpose for living
wasn't to win Sing Song it was
to grow closer" Young said. "Sing
Song gave us the opportunity to get
to know each other better. I under-
stand the point of us not doing Sing
Song because of the conflicts but
whatever happened to just having a
good time?"

Bible study ministry occurs
weekly at Snyder prison
From p.1
The visits arc open to anyone
who wants to attend. Women arc
not allowed to mentor alone.
"The only thing you can do
besides talk is point out things
from the Bible.
"This is just a time to reflect
think try to change and try to think
what to do when they get out."
Anne Ewing senior sociology
major from Duncanvillc participat-
ed as part of the January short
course. Crime and Delinquency
taught by Tinkler.
"It was a different experience
than I expected" she said. "It's
hard to imagine people who know
the Bible better than wc do and arc
ready and willing to learn and
wont to learn. Their optimism about
what they want to do when they get
out and even within the prison was
amazing."
Ewing said the men wanted help
from the mentors and would search
for answers on their own if they
were not assisted. "They're not a
lost cause" she said adding that
the visit was her first time and she
will go again.
Miller said "Anyone who comes
for the first time has nothing to do
but be yourself."
Tinkler laid participants realized
the visit was one of the most con-
structive things they'd done with
their whole month.
Ewing added that she wished all
students could experience the visit
at least once.
"I never pictured myself standing
between two prisoners holding
their hands singing and praying"
she said.
