The Custer Award is given annually to three returning Marching Band
members who embody the work ethic of the Wisconsin Band. These three
students "come to work every day" and exemplify the dedication it takes to march in the Wisconsin Band.
The award was started in 1995 by Mr. Jere Fluno who has been and
continues to be a generous Badger Band supporter. Each student
receives a scholarship toward his or her continuing education.
Due to the success of this award, two other awards have also
been established, the Crazy Horse and the PA. The PA Award is
named after Mike Leckrone's wife, Phylis and Jere
Fluno's wife, Anne. It is now customary for the band to stop and play a couple of
songs for Mr. Fluno after the football game in order to show
the deep appreciation for his support of the Wisconsin Band.
