Outstanding Individuals Honored for Alumni Band Support

Jim Wilcox Honored for Noteworthy Service

Jim Wilcox, the 1996 Noteworthy Service Award winner, has many recognizable achievements. Most "notable" are the three Alumni Band logos Jim created. He also used his artistic talents to design the masthead for the Alumni Band Newsletter, the basketball pep band t-shirts and the t-shirt used for Autograph Night during Homecoming 1995. He also was very instrumental in documenting through photographs the early years of the Alumni Band. Jim served eight years on the Executive Board, holding positions as Newsletter Editor, Special Projects Coordinator, and Director-At-Large.

Doris Goering Is Presented the Grace Note Award

Doris Goering, the 1996 Grace Note Award winner, is a dictionary definition of a band fan. She has volunteered her time and energy to join letter writing campaigns to promote the good will of the bands, proofread newsletters, coordinated the Alumni Band Spouses' Coffee and assisted in Alumni Band jacket distribution. She and her husband, Don, have supported the band during its various fund drives and most recently adopted two positions in the Adopt-The-Band Campaign. She is a proud supported of the Marching Band and the Basketball Pep Bands and a very fitting recipient of the Grace Note Award.

The Tutti Award was first given in 1992 to honor a male "unofficial member" of the Alumni Band for "exceptional support."

The Grace Note Award originated in the fall of 1991 to honor an "unofficial member" of the Alumni Band who demonstrates a combination of time, talents, financial donations and service in "the spirit" of the Alumni Band and the ISU band program.
