Week 1 Spotlight
Wake Forest University's marching band — The Spirit of the Old Gold & Black — and Winston-Salem State University's Red Sea of Sound will perform together. The duo performed together for the first time ever in 2019 before a capacity Opening Night crowd as Wake Forest earned an exciting 38-35 victory over Utah State on the way to an 8-5 season culminating in an appearance in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.
The Red Sea of Sound marching band has received widespread recognition over the years for their excellence in performance, featuring thrilling, high energy drum majors, auxiliary cores and top-quality musical composition. Additionally, WSSU AD Etinne Thomas and Wake Forest AD John Currie will be among the honorary captains for the coin toss on Friday night.
Finally through Wake Forest's Football Ticket Ambassador Program, loyal Deacon Club supporter Jeff Kentner purchased 1,000 tickets for Winston-Salem State students to attend Friday night's game and watch their fellow students in the Red Sea of Sound perform.
Finally, the Open the Gate honoree this week is President Susan R. Wente, Ph.D.
