About
Greetings all TCU Band alumni! The nominations for the TCU Ex-Bandsmen Band of Fame are now open.
The Band of Fame award was established in 1987 and is given in honor of Jim "Prof" Jacobsen, TCU Band director from 1955- 1982 and his wife, Wyneth, "Mrs. J" Jacobsen. The purpose of the Band of Fame award is to recognize and honor alumni and other individuals who have contributed in a significant way to the vision and mission of the TCU Band.

Criteria & Inductees
It is preferred, but not required, that it has been at least 20 years since the person’s graduation or their support of the TCU Band occurred. It is not required that the recipient be a professional musician but would ideally have been involved in musical activities throughout their respective careers.
Nominations may be submitted at any time between now and March 11, 2021.
The nominations will be reviewed by a Hall of Fame Selection Committee. The committee is comprised of 2 TCU Band Directors, the President of the TCU Ex-Bandsmen Association and 4 "at-large band alumni members". This year our at large members are: John Stuckey (1970's), Harry Tschoerner (1980's), Jill Clay (late 90's) and JP Wilson (2000's).
There is no requirement of a specific number of awardees for a particular year. The Selection Committee will meet as a group to consider any and all nominees and to make their selections. Recipients will be notified late in the Spring of 2021 and invited to a fall football game or designated EBA virtual event, where they will be given a personalized plaque and recognized during either the pre-game or half-time or virtual event. To ensure permanent recognition, their names will also be added to the permanent plaque in the TCU Music building.
