Band spotlight
Majestic Sounds of the South Marching Band
Band founded 2023
The band is brand-new — launched as a credit-bearing marching course in fall 2023 after decades of the college having only a concert/choral music program. It has already marched the Whitehaven Christmas Parade, Memphis's 901 Day, and the 2026 Mardi Gras Memphis and Krewe of Morephus parades, and its 2026 'Welcome to Egypt' battle-of-the-bands floor show was shot in 4K by A1 Media. Band-culture channel BougeeTV's stunned reaction video — 'When Did This Happen?!' — says everything about how fast this program appeared. Remarkably, LOC has no football team; the band exists for parades, battles, and pride.
