Announcing the 5th Annual
Husky Band Alumni Golf Classic
in honor of Andrew Mandel
Registration forms will be available soon!
Please join us for a fun day of golf, food and friends, as we raise funds for Husky Band Scholarships.
This year's tournament is in memory of Andrew Mandel, a 1991 graduate of the University of Washington, and dedicated member of the Husky Band. Andrew started as a trumpet player in band and went on to lead the band as Drum Major in the 1991 and 1992 Rose Bowl Parades. In 2005, after a courageous battle with cancer Andrew passed away.
To honor his memory and devotion to the band, the Husky Marching Band Alumni Association has established a scholarship for current drum majors. Proceeds from the golf tournament will fund the Andrew Mandel Drum Major Scholarship and other Husky Band scholarships.
For those new to golf tournaments, we'd like to assure you that this event is not cutthroat, in fact far from it. At every hole, each member of the foursome takes a turn to hit the ball--the team takes their next shot from the position of the best hit ball. Mulligans, or "do overs" can be purchased to give your team additional help. This means that it is possible for your team to win the tournament with 3 lousy golfers and one good golfer. Even bad golfers are bound to get lucky and have a few good shots throughout the day! Besides, driving the golf cart is a lot of fun! (If you have 3 bad golfers and are looking for a ringer, contact Kris Van Gasken!)
