The Tusculum College community hosted some famous neighbors on the Greeneville campus in July when Grammy\u00ae Award-winning trio, The Band Perry utilized Tusculum facilities for rehearsal space.<\/p>\n

According to David Martin, director of facilities, Kimberly Perry, Reid Perry and Neil Perry were all in their hometown the second week of July and performed at Fun Fest in Kingsport. While in town, they spent a good deal of time on the Tusculum campus, rehearsing for an upcoming live performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing like coming home to Greeneville, Tennessee and spending time with our family, friends and neighbors,\u201d said The Band Perry. \u201cTusculum College always welcomes us with open arms and gives us a great place to work and rehearse while we\u2019re in town, and we are grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

While in town, The Band Perry rehearsed at the Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Center, using the auditorium and other facilities there.<\/p>\n

The trio has visited the college on several occasions, and they performed a free student concert during their formative pre-superstar years.\u00a0The three were last on campus when they were recognized as Hometown Heroes by the Greeneville Astros rookie league baseball team, whose home field is on the Tusculum campus. The Perrys provided an on-campus, pre-game concert.<\/p>\n

They also come home to recharge quite often. Kimberly\u2019s wedding was held in Greeneville last year, and local support for the popular group was never more evident than when they performed in Downtown Greeneville in 2013 to a crowd of more than 25,000 enthusiastic fans. The college community was particularly ecstatic when the latest release from the band was announced to be titled, \u201cPioneer,\u201d the mascot of the college.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud of our neighbors, The Band Perry, and they are such wonderful ambassadors for our community because of their genuine love for their hometown,\u201d said Dr. Nancy B. Moody, president of Tusculum College. \u201cThey will always be welcome at Tusculum as friends and as part of our community. We were happy to be a part of their visit home, and the Pioneer nation wishes them the best in all they do.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Neil Perry has often been quoted, \u201cAnyone who knows us, knows how much we love our hometown.\u201d<\/p>\n
