## Resource

A beloved third-year Hawkeye Marching Band member, Derek Phillips, tragically died from a heat-related cardiac arrest during Iowa’s season opener against Northern Illinois. The game’s sweltering conditions—mid-90s temps and a heat index over 100—led to the cancellation of the halftime show, later revealed to be due to Derek’s emergency. Rushed to the hospital, his family made the heartbreaking decision to remove life support. A gifted mellophone player and Colts Drum and Bugle Corps member, Derek was deeply passionate about music and cherished as part of the tight-knit, multi-generational band family. Our hearts go out to his loved ones and the entire Hawkeye Marching Band community during this devastating loss.
