SUMMARY: City and county leaders showed support for the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science (MSMS) remaining on the W’s campus. A Republican senator introduced a bill to move MSMS to MSU in Starkville, causing concern. MSMS has been on the W’s campus since 1987 and despite infrastructure issues, it thrives academically. Mayor Keith Gasin and a delegation were on their way to Jackson for a committee vote, which was later postponed. Gasin emphasized the importance of MSMS staying at the W, citing its benefits to the community and the strong relationship with Mississippi State. The impact of moving MSMS would be significant, financially and culturally, for the city of Columbus.

SUMMARY: Christian artist TobyMac reflected on his evolving music style ahead of his performance at the Brandon Amphitheater. Rooted in hip hop, R\&B, and soul, he says his sound has mellowed over time, shaped by life’s ups and downs. Though he sometimes tires of older songs like “Speak Life,” their enduring message keeps them meaningful. He continues to blend new hits like “Cornerstone” and “I Just Need You” into his setlist, skipping “Good Morning” out of respect for collaborator Mandisa. TobyMac promises fans a joyful, diverse, and unified show experience, filled with both nostalgic favorites and fresh, relevant music.
