I Am An American: Our Tribute To Roy Johnson

I have been coming to Purdue football games since the fall of 1987. In that time there has been one thing that has stood out as a constant at every game.

By now you likely know his name. He is simply "The Voice" of the Purdue All-American Marching Band. I have seen him a few times here and there on game days in the Ross-Ade Pavilion, but he is an institution at this point. While he has been the PA announcer for the band for 43 years going into this season and his signature is "I Am An American".
