Bethune-Cookman University Athletics

 In 1969, President Richard V. Moore hired this young upstart director of bands to develop an exciting music program and marching band, and during the next ten years Samuel Berry created and perfected a sound and style of performance that laid the groundwork for what is today the Marching Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman University. His dynamic leadership and professional creativity allowed the Marching Men of B-CC to become a household name in college band circles. He passed away in 1980 and will be inducted posthumously.
