After more than three decades leading the Pride of Wildcat Land, Frank Tracz will take his final bow this weekend at a Kansas State University home football game.

On Tuesday’s edition of Within Reason with Mike Matson on News Radio KMAN, Tracz said his biggest hope for whoever succeeds him as band director is that the culture and standards remain the same.

“I think the structure of the band program is there,” he said. “I think somebody’s going to come in and do some great things with it … and this whole thing will keep going, and the Pride will still be the Pride, and it’ll be great to watch from afar.”
