Since he was unique, I find it fitting that the George N Parks Minuteman Marching Band Building at UMass is the first of its kind on the Amherst campus to acquire LEED gold certification.

Two men: George Parks and John Calpari. Both building a program, but going about it two vastly different ways. With two vastly different legacies a couple decades later.
