First of all, it is necessary to point out that Batesville is not in ICC’s range of recruitment. This is important because the college gained talented students, like Jake, who did not even belong to the region in which ICC immediately recruits. We know that IMPACT played a major role in this recruitment, which only expanded when the group detached from ICC. As Jake said in his interview, Magnolia Independent was able to reach out to more people, even outside of Mississippi. He says that the music programs at ICC reach out mostly to the local communities, especially Fulton. Because of its locality, the ICC music department receives most of its recruits from the area closely surrounding it. Recruits mostly do not originate from anywhere
