Roy A. Colclaser Awards
- For
- Current band members, though not necessarily recipients of a Rockwern Scholarship, whose participation in one particular aspect of the UC Bearcat Bands program is recognized as outstanding by the Director of Bands
- By
- Roy A. Colclaser, for whom these awards are named, was very active in band serving as a section leader for percussion for two years and in the Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi, serving as president of the chapter during academic years 1957-58 and 1958-59. At graduation, Roy Colclaser was presented with the Directors Award for 1959. (Roy later received his Masters in Electrical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and PhD from the University of New Mexico.) After graduation, Roy approached the UC Director of Bands with the idea of setting up awards for musicianship in each of the bands. These awards were to be granted to the outstanding musician in each, the cost being underwritten by Roy Colclaser. The decision as to the recipient of the awards was to be left to the discretion of the director. A stipulation was placed on the awards that once one received a Colclaser Award, s/he automatically became ineligible for future consideration. Any individual, regardless of year in college, is eligible for these awards, first presented in 1960. With the growth of the Bearcat Bands over the years, some ensembles do not stress musicianship but rather other factors are considered such as attendance, attitude, performing ability (if not a musical environment), and so on.
