Webber's Induction to the GHS Hall of Fame

WEBBER WOODALL INDUCTED INTO THE

GHS BAND & FLASH HALL OF FAME

Webber Woodall has been involved with the Greenville High School Floor Show for the last 36 years…4 of those years as a sax player for the Lion Pride Band.
Webber began his love of “all things music” in the 6th grade, playing alto saxophone under the direction of Mr. Hutchings.
At GHS he played alto, tenor and baritone sax in the concert, jazz and marching bands, under the direction of Mr. Bob Cartwright.
After graduation from GHS in 1977, he then entered ETSU (now Texas A&M/Commerce), for 3 years as a music major, playing in the symphonic, jazz and marching bands. He then changed career paths and became an electronics engineer…a change that he always regretted!
Webber loves music…he loves marching bands…but more importantly, he loves the tradition of the GHS Floor Show. He loves all that it means, not only to the band and the Flashes, but, to the alumni that come back for the shows.
For 32 years, he has dropped what he was doing, to come back to Greenville to see the 73-year tradition continue.
When he and Molly met, and were planning their wedding, she was told; “You know about the Floor Show, right? You know that it will have to be part of your wedding vows…for better, for worse...the floor show must go on!” She also knows her place during the week of the Floor Show...outta the way…Webber is here for Flash Director Lori Butler and Band Director Kyle Treadwell.
Webber works in the Electronics Department at Wal-Mart in Paris. He and Molly have been married for 15 years and he has a step-son, Larry Sprinkle.
