After over a decade as the voice of the ISU Marching Band, Bob Lindemeyer has retired. “Lindemeyer wasn’t just the announcer for the marching band, he was also a donor,” said ISU Marching Band Director Martin Province. “He put a lot of his heart and soul into the games and the band.” Lindemeyer traveled with the marching band as they performed around the country for ISU football games. When the band traveled to Iowa City for the annual game against the University of Iowa, Lindemeyer remembered his reaction in the press box as the Cyclones defeated the Hawkeyes. “One of the rules in the press box is that everyone is suppose to be quiet; they don’t take sides,” Lindemeyer said. “I was sitting in the back row and every time ISU scored a touchdown I would go `Yahoo!'” “He was so important to the performance,” Province said. “The announcer wasn’t just an announcer but a performer.” Lindemeyer was the associate director of the ISU Instructional Technology Center for the past 30 years, where he produced films and videos for university departments and organizations. He was also vice president of the Stanton Memorial Carillon Foundation and a chair of the FOCUS on the Arts Committee, which brings art to Iowa State. Lindemeyer said he was also involved in Iowa State’s Navy ROTC program as the founder and past president of the Navy ROTC Alumni group. “[It’s] a terrific university,” Lindemeyer said. “All of the alumnus, faculty and students are quality for the way they support their university.” Now that Lindemeyer has some free time, he said he wants to pursue many projects that he didn’t have time to do before. Lindemeyer said he and his son plan to open a jazz club in New York and produce documentaries and other films through their family-owned company, Lindemeyer Productions. While he will be in and out of Ames, Lindemeyer said he will still serve as vice president of the Stanton Memorial Carillon Foundation and he will not forget the ISU “Varsity” Marching Band anytime soon. “This year ISU is going to a bowl game,” he said. “It will be good for athletes and for the marching band.”
