Remembered in Brass
A Spartan Marching Band Tribute to Leonard Falcone

For 40 years (1927–1967) Leonard Falcone, then director of bands, filled classrooms, stages, and Spartan stadium with awe-inspiring music.

Today, echoes of his traditions are still heard, and now seen, in the halls of the Music Building. Thanks to the efforts of a dedicated group of MSU Alumni Band Association members, nearly $10,000 was raised to acquire an impressive 2-foot by 3-foot bronze plaque that adorns the hallway near his old office, capturing the attention of busy students headed to class and rehearsals.
