Today, _____ years ago, a legend was born… At the center of years of tradition, culture, and all things good here in the Spirit of the West, is this man. Dr. Nathan Stark has been at the forefront of this band and its success for over a decade! His knowledge and leadership have carved the pathway to success for all of his students. We owe this man a lot. From his endless nights of drill writing, to the early mornings of College Gameday, this man has done all that he can to watch the Spirit of the West grow in ways that were not comprehensible. From 46(ish) members to over 200, he continues to dream big and dream loud. In front of the Bobcat Nation, your current and past students, we thank you for everything! Happy Birthday to our Lord Stark!! 💙💛
