Rumors

A Carroll native who’s currently coaching the Philadelphia 76ers is hosting events in his hometown this week. It’s called the Nick Nurse Foundation’s Golf and Music Festival and the golf tournament starts tomorrow. A popular indie rock band called Mt. Joy will headline Thursday evening’s entertainment. Nurse connected with the band in Philadelphia. “They had a big concert, probably about 17,000 (in the audience). It was kind of the last show of their big tour last year, in Philly, and he dragged me up there and we played a ‘Fleetwood Mac’ song ‘Dreams’ and I played the piano, which was an unbelievable experience,” Nurse said, “so I kind of just was thinking about it: ‘How can I get some of the people we get involved in the foundation involved in the show?'”

The band will recreate Fleetwood Mac’s 1979 “Tusk” music video with help from the Carroll and Carroll Kuemper marching bands. “Another great Fleetwood Mac song and video…with the USC marching band and, you know how it is, you’ve just got to ask all the participants if they’re in,” Nurse said. “…They’ve been practicing all summer.”
