Best Collegiate Band
Mississippi State’s Famous Maroon Band accepts the Sudler Trophy, the highest national honor bestowed on a collegiate band, during this past weekend’s home football game in Davis Wade Stadium. Holding honorary plaques behind the trophy are, from left, MSU President Mark E. Keenum; Associate Band Director Craig Aarhus; Band Director Elva Kaye Lance; and Associate Band Director Cliff Taylor. The FMB celebrated the win with a light-dazzling halftime show in front of a sold-out crowd. See more feature photos of the band.
