Eagle Pride App

My boss is a Cameron Crazy and I have an allegiance to the Wolfpack...but we still have fan bandwidth for the NC Central Eagles.

Capitol's Fox50 offered a big assist last fall with football promotion and our latest project has been the development of a mobile app for the athletic department. John McCann tells the story in the Herald-Sun.

The app is available for Apple, Android and Kindle. 

I am, of course, compelled to mention baseball. The Eagles home field is the renowned, historic Durham Athletic Park. As I type, Jim Koerner's squad is 8-5. They play Duke on Tuesday at 6pm.

Support the Sound Machine

The very famous, very entertaining band at North Carolina Central University is raising $500,000...to fund its coveted invitation to the 2011 Tournament of Roses Parade. It's expensive to move the massive Sound Machine from Durham NC to Pasadena CA.

We welcomed the band to the DBAP Saturday night. They provided accompaniment for our fireworks show, and fans were invited to text a donation to help pay for the band's cross country trek.

Percussion on the field. Pyrotechnics overhead.

It's not to late to help!

And this speaks to the band's versatility: They performed in near darkness beneath the canopy of fireworks. Watch and listen to the NCCU Sound Machine:
