Hatties Off: Big Loud Founder and Hattiesburg, MS native Craig Wiseman was among the inaugural class inducted into the Hattiesburg Hall of Fame during a two-day event that culminated with a banquet where Wiseman accepted the Eye of the Tiger trophy. "The Hattiesburg Public School System had a serious band program that taught me my work ethic,” shares Wiseman. "If you were first chair, you had to do lessons and apply yourself beyond the classroom. That challenge has served me well through the years – to push and work if you want to stay first chair. I cannot say enough about how thankful I am for teaching me life lessons that shaped my life and career."
