Pied Piper of the Thundering Herd 174 Music soothes the savage beast; music lifts spirits of those who hear it, and music requires immense talent on the part of those who perform it. Harding has been graced by such talent, and among the talented is the extraordinary Mark Hudson . Mark, a senior music major from Gainesville, Florida was the field commander for the marching band, director of the stage band, a member of the A Cappella Chorus, TNT-Zeta Rho's Spring Sing Director, and is a member of the Music Educators' National Conference. Mark credits his interest in music 10 the fact that he is from a musical family. Both of his parents perform in a bluegrass band, and his mother plays the piano as well. Consequently, he decided to pursue music at an early age. "When I heard our high school band play at my elementary school in sixth grade, I decided I wanted to be in band." Hence, Mark's career as an instrumentalist began. French Horn is his speciality. but he is also capable of playing trumpet and Kimberly Hawkins Shackelrord - Shreveport, LA. Elementary Education.

Although instrumental music IS Hudson's major interest, he also enjoys vocal music. He participated in high school marching band, concert band, pep band, stage band, concert choir, madrigals, barbershop quart~t , and mixed vocal ensemble. . As a high school musician, Mark was honored with membership in the Florida All-State Choir for two consecutive years, and he was awarded superior medals for solo and ensemble performance (vocal and instrumental), and superior medals for band and choral conducting. To top off his honors, the City of Gainesville honored Hudson with "Youth of the Month" in 1975. For Mark, choosing a college wasn't too difficult. Although he considered Florida State University. University of Florida, and membership in the Air Force Band, Harding was chosen because Mark "was impressed with the teachers and their personal interest in their students." The closely knit group of students in the music department, •'almost like a family," also made Harding attractive to him. At Harding, Hudson has been a member of the marching band, concert band, pep band, stage band, Chorale, Chamber Singers, and A Cappella Chorus. In his years here, he has been honored with Outstanding Junior Band Student (78-79), Outstanding Band Member (79-80), Outstanding Music Student (79-80) , and
