THE DR. ROBERT H. PARKER AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE
Dr. Robert H. Parker (CAS '34) was the first band manager of the AU Pep Band as a student - the College Band - participating in directing and running the band from 1931 to 1934. Not only was he a founding member, but his early contributions of leadership and service helped to foster the growth of the College Band over the years into the institution it is today.
Recipients of The Dr. Robert H. Parker Award for Outstanding Leadership and Service should exemplify the leadership and dedication to the first College Band of Dr. Parker. They should be, without question, servants of the band and its members - putting dedication to music, spirit, and American University, above all else.
