  Hawkeyes Honor Fallen Band Member | Cedar Rapids News

  Sep 10, 20261 min

  This Saturday’s big Hawkeyes vs. Cyclones game will be tinged with sorrow and tribute as the band honors Derek Phillips, a beloved member who tragically passed away from heat stroke during last weekend’s scorching contest. Before kickoff, fans will observe a moment of silence, while halftime will feature his signature “50 Years of The Muppet Show” performance—with a heartfelt twist: “Rainbow Connection” will spell out his name on the field. His seat on the H1 squad remains empty for the season, and band members wear black ribbons as a symbol of remembrance. After the game, regardless of the score, everyone is invited to sing “Alma Mater Iowa,” carrying Derek’s spirit forward.
