The purpose of the KKY/TBE Leadership Awards is twofold. First and foremost, we want to acknowledge and honor the excellence demonstrated by our students who are chosen to serve as section leaders within the marching band. These members are often the most talented, the most dedicated, and the most positive marching band members. The second purpose of the KKY/TBE Leadership Awards is to encourage participation in the marching band by promoting excellence and demonstrating a commitment to our students. There is no second string in the marching band - every member is vital to our success. By establishing these awards, your gift will provide a foundation to expand our recruiting and retention efforts. Indeed, The Spirit and The Pride is a point of pride for Mansfield University. Your contributions will directly help Mansfield maintain our program’s quality by supporting and honoring our most dedicated and talented students. Thank you in advance for your continued support of Mansfield University and the new KKY/TBE Leadership Awards program. Special Note: All section leaders must have been in the band for at least one season, and therefore are returning members. Students may be enrolled in any degree program and will be chosen through an application and interview process, led by the band directors and including several members of KKY/TBE.
The Mansfield University Music Department seeks your support and sponsorship of our outstanding Spirit and The Pride marching band.

Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma have always formed a dedicated and loyal core of The Spirit and The Pride. Once again, we are asking for your leadership and support to participate in the KKY/TBE Leadership Awards program. As a combined project for our chapters at Mansfield Unversity, KKY/TBE is proud to introduce this leadership award program that will provide a series of monetary honoraria for section leaders of The Spirit and The Pride. The KKY/TBE Leadership Awards program will afford each section leader a $250 annual award to fulfill these vital roles. Fourteen individuals serve our piccolo, clarinet, alto sax, mellophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, tenor sax, tuba, pit percussion, battery percussion, color guard section, and drum majors.(2).Through the KKY/TBE Leadership Awards program, we will raise a minimum of $3500 annually, equating to fourteen awards. Any excess dollars raised will build the fund or increase the award allocation(s).
