October 13, 2007

We had more alumni in 2007, and great weather.  What more can you ask for in an Alumni Band?! Except that Akron lost in the last 30 seconds

We played great songs, and had a great time.  What a great time in 2007! 2008 is the last year at the Rubber Bowl, so plan on joining us in Oct. 2008

Tribute to the "Chief"
update: 10/23/2006

 


Richard "Chief" Jackoboice, 65, passed away Oct. 17th and was our director of bands for 23 years and director of the university's undergraduate music department.  He changed so many of our "lives" during those many memories of Chief yelling "run it back", and "you in the band uniform."

<Visit> a tribute from various persons, and sources.
