Starting with our performance at Bandshell Park tonight and for the remainder of the 2026 season, members of the Cyclone Marching Band will wear a Black & Gold pin with an outline of the state of Iowa and the letters “DIFD,” in honor of Derek Phillips, a member of the Hawkeye Marching Band who passed away earlier this week.
At the conclusion of our concert, we will also pay tribute to Derek and honor his Hawkeye Marching Band family, with a playing of “Alma Matter Iowa” alongside our alma matter the “Bells of Iowa State.” While these songs hold a special place in the heart of all members of Iowa State University & the University of Iowa, we know how deeply they resonate with our band members, alumni, and staff.
We’re excited to see the HMB perform tomorrow and wish them the best of luck, but also…Go Cyclones!
🖤💛♥️

True to form EVERYTIME I fly through @fly2ohare its a disaster: bags lost or flight delayed. After years of intentionally avoiding it, thought maybe this time would be ok. NOPE. Bags LOST. @AmericanAir#OHARE#findmybag
ZUCKERBERG: “Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life.”
it doesn't matter what the answers are anymore. the debate demonstrates what we already knew: biden is not fit to be president. its sad that it had to come to this - to force this elderly man through this. and force us to watch. this is gross.
As great a player as Caitlin Clark is she is even better at handling every bit of BS that’s been thrown at her. What’s even better is it makes her brand stronger and her haters angrier!
What a game!! Normally we would all be talking about Caitlin Clark, but Iowa prevailed with a strong team effort led by Hannah Stuelke’s 23 points. Congratulations to the entire team and coaching staff for advancing to their 2nd straight National Championship appearance!
