PRCA RODEO ANNOUNCER OF THE YEAR RETURNS TO RODEO AUSTIN
Austin, Texas, March 18, 2015 – The renowned and distinguished voice of Wayne
Brooks will return to the announcers stand at Rodeo Austin for his 13th year.
Like many announcers, Brooks started out as a competitor riding broncs. His will to
stay involved in the industry, see friends and be a part of the game was the number
one thing that pushed him to announcing says Brooks.
Brooks’ impressive rodeo resume and engaging personality are only the beginning
of why he is such an important member of the team at Rodeo Austin. His passion for
rodeo and Rodeo Austin’s mission – Promoting Youth Education and Preserving
Western Heritage-‐ are what keeps him coming back every year.
“The key word here is benevolence,” Brooks said. “Giving back to the community
and being able to promote rodeo is something I love.”
“This rodeo is successful because of all the efforts from 1500 volunteers to over 70
employees – the results are monumental,” said Brooks. “It’s devils and details
between a good show and great show. At Rodeo Austin they leave no stone
unturned, which spells out a great show.”
Brooks was recently named 2014 ProRodeo Announcer of the Year, an award he has
received four times in his career. Brooks plays such a vital role in the 15 days of
rodeo that his voice is a comforting touch to those familiar with Rodeo Austin.
Rodeo Austin is proud to call Brooks one of their own, just as Brooks says he is
proud to be a part of Team Rodeo Austin.
