Marty Gras is a musical event meant to help raise funds in support of the Brother Martin music program. This spectacular event was created in honor of the late Brother Martin Band Director Marty Hurley, who "taught the fundamentals of drumming as a mechanism to teach students how to succeed in life," according to Grammy award-winning Brother Martin alumnus Stanton Moore '90. Jonathan Hoerner '89 of the Bag of Donuts was also a guest in this WWL segment regarding Marty Gras.
