We are about to break ground on activity field project
Members of our Golden Eagle Marching Band won’t have very far to march in order to practice their on-the-field routines.
We will be breaking ground for phase one of a $150,000 activity field project across North Dixie from the Bryan Fine Arts Building. The band practice tower will be relocated on the 6.6 acres green space in front of Walton House.
“The School of Music is excited about the relocation of the marching band tower and looks forward to a much closer practice field,” said Colin Hill, our interim director for the School of Music. “The President’s lawn is directly across the street from the Bryan Fine Arts building, which is significantly closer than the seven-minute walk to Sherlock Park. Especially when inclement weather hits, getting students and instruments indoors quickly will be much easier in this new location. Further, this location eliminates some occasional noise issues between marching band rehearsals and soccer games.
The band currently practices in Sherlock Park, so the move to the new green space allows groundbreaking to begin in the fall for the new Engineering Building.
“We really want to get the band tower relocated here before school starts up in August,” said Chuck Roberts, vice president for facilities and business services during a recent interview on a local radio station. “So, we should have that band tower relocated out there in the June-July time frame. They’ll be able to utilize that when they have camps starting to open up at the beginning of the school year.”
Roberts said the field is not specific to the band, students will be able to use the space for outdoor recreation. He said it will function similar to Sherlock Park. There will be some lighting, water stations and benches included in the area.
Roberts also said an architect is working to design our vision for the field moving forward and that phase one can be completed with funds already allocated.

Attention GAs: Tax Implications-’21 SP
The Office of Graduate Studies is now sending a listing of the tuition benefits paid each semester on your behalf to the Payroll/Business Office. For Support Graduate Assistants the amount will be added to the taxable income on your April 30th paycheck and will increase your tax liability and possibly your federal income tax deduction. This amount does not increase your net pay.
If you want to change your W-4 to prevent or lessen the withholding amount, the form is here. This form must be returned to the Payroll Office by 4:30 p.m., Thursday, April 15th, to process on the April 30th paycheck.
If you have questions regarding the W-4 process, contact the Payroll Office by e-mailing payroll@tntech.edu.
Here is an explanation of how the IRS treats assistantships:
Tuition benefits offered to graduate assistants are generally excluded from taxable income under section 117(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). However, section 117(d) only excludes from taxable income tuition benefits for graduate students who are engaged in teaching activities or research activities at the University. Graduate assistants not engaged in such teaching or research activities at the University cannot be excluded from taxable income under section 117(d). These assistantships do not qualify for the $5,250 exclusion. -
