The Iowa Bandmaster Magazine Winter Issue 2017 Congratulations! The Iowa State University Cyclone Football “Varsity” Marching Band was the winner of the John Philip Sousa Foundation 2017-18 Sudler Trophy Iowa State University has earned one of the most coveted trophies in the nation’s marching band community. The award is only given once per school and recognizes both the current and longstanding excellence of the nation’s top collegiate marching bands. “It’s a thrill to see the band recognized at this level,” Steven Smyth, ISU’s associate director of bands, said. “This is as close to a national championship as it gets for college marching bands, and we’ll be celebrating for the next two years. The traveling trophy, which weights 80 pounds, was designed by the same artist who made the Heisman Trophy. It will be presented at a 2017 home football game by the chairman of the foundation’s selection committee “The Sudler Trophy will be awarded biannually to a college or university marching band which demonstrated the highest of musical standards and innovative marching routines and ideas, and which has made important coontributions to the advancement of the performance standards of college marching bands over a number of years,” according to the foundation’s website. This is the first time the Sudler Trophy has returned to the state of Iowa since the University of Iowa claimed the award in 1990.
