July 8, 2014—We are saddened to report the passing of Eric Humphrey, member of the Oregon Athletic Bands from 2010 to 2014. Per his obituary in The Oregonian, Humphrey "was a dedicated trumpet section leader, member of Yellow Garter Band, Oregon Basketball Band and Band Council."

In addition, Eric "participated with his beloved band mates at the 2011 National Championship Game, 2012 Rose Bowl, 2013 Fiesta Bowl and 2014 Alamo Bowl, along with many Pac-12 basketball championship events."

The Eric Humphrey Memorial Fund has been established with the goal of raising enough funds for an endowment in Humphrey's honor.
