William J. Geisheker Award Recipients

     The William J. Geisheker Award is the greatest honor Symphonic Band members can bestow upon a graduating senior. This award is named in honor of former Symphonic Band Conductor William Geisheker and his many years of faithful service to the Marquette University Bands.

     Each spring, all Symphonic Band members vote for the award winner, and a plaque is presented to the recipient at the Spring Concert. As well, in Dr. Nicholas Contorno's office hangs a plaque with a list of all recipients and a quote that describes the qualities of these recipients:

"The William J. Geisheker Award is presented annually to the senior Marquette University Band member who has demonstrated these characteristics and traits which typify the ideals reflected throughout the forty-one tenure of 'Mr. G.'

"Foremost among these are loyalty, dedication, musicianship, fraternity, respect, and especially love."

Here is a listing of all students who have been honored with this award.
