Alex Jackson’s final days

At a Kansas City Chiefs game, Jackson gave his final performance with Marching Mizzou in front of a large crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.

According to a Facebook post on Marching Mizzou, “This past season in Band 136 while getting chemo treatments he still made practically every rehearsal and performance that his body would allow.”  He fought this sickness so valiantly because he loved Marching Mizzou, which was among the reasons.

He only had one college option, and Marching Mizzou was the sole college band. He wanted to represent Marching Mizzou as a boisterous, animated, and upbeat person that would encourage everyone to “find the good in the bad times and keep trying to be what we are, which is the ‘Best Band’.”

The School of Music announced through email that it will have a candlelight vigil for Jackson the following week. The vigil’s specifics are still to be announced.
