Western Wednesdays
Welcome to Western Wednesdays, the podcast edition! While Western Wednesdays have been around for 18 months, we’re excited to bring it to you in the world of podcasts. Every month we’ll be sitting down with alumni from all different backgrounds to talk about how WCU influenced them and their careers.

An Impact that Reverberates ft. Pride of the Mountains

Season 1

Episode 8
Few things about WCU’s Pride of the Mountains marching band fly under the radar—a 500-member ensemble is hard to miss, after all. However, Western’s marching band has changed leadership and education in our region in a way that few other organizations at WCU or anywhere in the system can lay claim to.
Join us this Western Wednesday as we learn about the band’s impact off of the field, including its plans to bring the Pride of the Mountains across the pond. We’ll hear from POTM director Jack Eaddy and staff, current students, and local band director and POTM alumnus Alex Larsen ’17.
