Lots to chat about tonight

It is with a heavy heart that we share the loss of Derek Phillips, a beloved member of the Hawkeye Marching Band.

Derek collapsed after going into sudden cardiac arrest on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium, just before halftime. Despite the extraordinary efforts to save him, he passed away yesterday.

To his family, his friends, his fellow band members, and the entire University of Iowa community — please know our hearts are with you.

We're also thinking of the first responders, UIPD, medical personnel, EMS, who responded immediately and did everything they could to treat him on site, and to the ICU team at the University of Iowa Hospital who fought so hard for him.

Please keep Derek's family, and all who loved him in your thoughts and prayers.

Rest easy, Derek. Thank you for the music you shared with all of us. 🖤💛
