John "Enforcer" Abbruzzino

I am an honorary member of the QE chapter of KKY, and joined in the spring semester of 1999.  I have not held an office in the chapter.  I was a Music Education major, and had no minor.  I was a member of the Transylvania Concert Band, Transylvania Catholic Organization, CMENC, and the St. Paul's Church Choir.  I like to run, play tennis, read, and watch movies in my spare time.  I play the euphonium and piano.  I joined KKY because I wanted to get involved in service in the UK Bands and came to Transylvania so that I could study music ed at a small college.  I hope to be a music teacher after graduation, play every Bach invention, indulge my loves of hiking and competitive running, and be as happily married as my baritone brothers Akers and Scott Nolan (but that can wait).  My other is not significant yet, so I'll get back to you. I am from Chantilly, Virginia.  No personal website. :(
John graduated in May 2001 from Transylvania University and is currently job-hunting.

Joanna Michelle Browning

Joanna Browning was President of TBS-HZ for three years. During that time they won the coveted Councellor's Cup, but more important than that (at least as far as we're concerned!) Joanna was a strong, vocal supporter of KKY-QE at a time when our charter was in danger of being rescinded. She is one of the people to whom we very literally owe our existence as an organization today.

Julie "Tweetie" Whitaker

A native of central Kentucky, Julie entered UK in the Fall of 1998. She was ready to join KKY the next spring, but due to various "political" pressures, QE chapter did not initiate any new Active members that semester. Initiated in the Fall of 1999, Julie was the first female Active member of QE Chapter. A year later she transferred across town, joining Honorary Member John "Enforcer" Abbruzzino at Transylvania University. She has informed us, however, that she does intend to remain involved with KKY and to return to UK's marching band next fall.
