The
VMEA Robert Stamback Honors Choir Memorial Scholarship Award,
established through donations given in his memory, is to be presented
annually to a deserving choral student selected by the Memorial
Scholarship Committee, in agreement with the Honors Choir Chairman and
VMEA President. The Stamback family requests that the scholarship be
awarded as an annual $100 financial assistance to an Honors Choir
member. Robert Stamback was active in the establishment of the VMEA
Honors Choir and was an outstanding choral director at Tucker High
School in Richmond and Lake Braddock High School in Fairfax County. He
was also a past president of VMEA and VCDA. His enthusiasm and passion
for music has had a lasting impact on music education in Virginia.
