Jenny was an exemplary drum
major and leader in the Frost Band of the Hour. She was a mentor to the younger
FBOTH members around her and respected by her upperclassmen contemporaries. She
was an active member of the Gamma Epsilon Chapter of Tau Beta Sigma. There was
even an inside joke that one of the values of the organization was hers because
she embodied it better than anyone else. She was cheerful, kind, professional,
and excellent at what she did on the field and in the classroom. She made
everyone around her better and more excited about music, marching or
otherwise.
She has since gone on to
make a career in music therapy and education from her work as an assistant
professor of Music Therapy at the University of Georgia. Jenny embodies
everything that is great about the Frost Band of the Hour. She has continued
that since graduating and leaving the organization.
Dedication to Music
Education is well known and evident not only by his excellence as a director,
but also in his ability to teach his students to become better people, adults,
and members of a team who cares equally about the music they make, and each
other. Larry has taught the Carolina Crown Drum and Bugle Corps since 2006.
Larry spends most weekends in the Fall judging band competitions all over the
country. Larry encourages student every year to participate in the Frost Honor
Band, and to also consider attending UM. He has had countless students to
follow in his footsteps by attending the UM and marching in the Frost Band of
the Hour.
As President of the Band of the Hour Association of Alumni and Friends, Rick spearheaded a successful band reunion the Fall of 2018 including a wonderful slide presentation at the organized dinner that saluted the 1979 Mirage Bowl trip to Tokyo. Rick also pushed for our membership in the National Association of Alumni Bands. This has allowed us to further understand what other alumni bands are doing and how we as an organization can benefit from their guidance.
