Voice of TROY’s Sound of the South marching band celebrates 31 years
If you’ve attended a game in Veterans Memorial Stadium you have heard several well-known phrases while the Sound of the South stands at attention on the field.
“With mighty warriors clad in strongest armor, and well prepared to receive the lot dealt by fate, the contest is at hand. And the commander’s spirit, raging for revenge shall in a monarch’s voice, cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war.”
Of course, you can’t forget this classic phrase: “So sit back and relax. Here’s the Sound of the South!”
The man behind the microphone with the commanding and familiar voice is Paul McNeeley, who is celebrating 31 years as the voice of the Sound of the South.

Sorrell 360 programs provides financial literacy program to more than 20 students in inaugural Guardian Credit Union 360 Finance cohort
More than 20 Sorrell College of Business students have been certified in personal finance through a special six-week course culminating in a trip to Franklin, Tenn. and Birmingham as part of the 360 Finance program.
We’re all very passionate about ensuring Sorrell College of Business students have both content knowledge and financial know-how to be able to use their money wisely. A lot of research shows that Americans as a whole are not as savvy when it comes to financial matters, so getting that training early on is important.
