2018 Western Carolina University “Pride of the Mountains” – Part I

The students and staff of the 2018 “Pride of the Mountains” Marching Band are proud to present their 2018 production entitled, “Now Is The Time”.

“Now is the Time” was designed and conceived as a “call for peace” for the world in which we currently reside. It was developed with an emphasis on music and visual reference that will characterize what we as a society have endured, what we currently are experiencing, as well as ask the question, “Where are we going?” One might believe that a production such as this would be politically motivated, when in fact, we are solely focused on peace, among the people of our world. How do we not repeat the mistakes of prior generations? How can we learn to be understanding of all cultures, respectful of diverse backgrounds, and sensitive to individual viewpoints? In a real sense, it is a plea for the current generation to “step outside the norm” and recognize that we all are people who are different to intentionally create diversity in a world that often discourages such variety.
