The Baton
For over 60 years, Tau Beta Sigma has striven to develop outstanding student leaders for college bands. Leadership is symbolized by the conductor’s baton. The 2001 National Convention established this award to recognize members who exhibit outstanding leadership in their chapters and/or districts. The first recipient was Anne Gardner in 2003. The Baton is the highest award that Tau Beta Sigma awards to student members for leadership. A member must have held Active status within the last calendar year to be eligible.

Grace and A. Frank Martin Chapter Leadership Award
The Tau Beta Sigma Chapter Leadership Award was first presented at the 1963 National Convention and is designed to honor the outstanding chapter in the nation during the biennium. The Award was renamed the Grace and A. Frank Martin Chapter Leadership Award at the 1999 National Convention. Each biennium, a group of outstanding chapters are selected by the National Council of Tau Beta Sigma as Chapter Leadership Award Finalists. The recipient of the Grace and A. Frank Martin Chapter Leadership Award is selected by a committee at National Convention who carefully screens the contributions made by each of the Chapter Leadership Award Finalists.

Distinguished Service Award
The Distinguished Service Award was created by the National Council in the Spring of 2010 in order to honor the service provided by our many volunteers such as Counselors, Committee members, and Board of Trustees members. The first pins were presented to three retiring District Counselors, Chris Gordon, Wendy McCann, and Kris Wright during the 2010 District Convention Season. This is not an award that is applied for; instead, it is an honor bestowed upon individuals for their Service to the Sorority by the National Council.
