Jeff Stewart, MJA member wrote this about Brian:

 "Brian has been an integral part of the color guard, marching band and drum corps activity in our area for years. Numerous championship and nationally ranked groups have Brian to thank for lending his talent, drive, and creativity. In addition, Brian has also helped so many local and national groups, through his judging career. I consistently hear people praise him for the feedback that he provides, that helps groups to improve. His advocacy to continue to grow the training process, locally, sets up our activity for future success. There is no doubt that Brian loves the activity, loves designing/teaching, loves judging, loves supporting the activity locally. What more could we ask of someone? I feel that his decades of service to guard, band, corps and judging makes him a perfect example of someone for this recognition."

Frankie would be proud to see Brian Murphy as a Frankie Award recipient."
