VMEA ROBERT STAMBACK HONORS CHOIR MEMORIAL AWARD
The VMEA Robert Stamback Honors
Choir Memorial 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 the VMEA President. The Stamback family requests that the
scholarship be awarded as an annual $200 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.
