Started in 2017, these awards are designed to acknowledge outstanding accomplishments of students in the Creighton Band Program. Each award is given to students in both the Concert and Symphonic band classes.
This award is presented to two students in each class who are chosen by Mr. Holcombe because of their outstanding qualities in band class. These students are leaders in class, are prepared both mentally and in playing ability, and create an inclusive and positive sense of community in class. The recipients are also willing to go above and beyond the ordinary responsibilities of being a band member.
