Charter Member, 1996

Our Story....

Since the spring of 1998 we, the family of Jeffery Allen Blackhurst, have given recognition to a Rowlett High School band student for his or her accomplishments in school, church, and community.  This recognition comes in the form of a scholarship in memory of our son Jeff.

 

Jeff was a charter member of the Mighty Eagle Band. He would have graduated with the class of 2000, the first class to attend RHS all four years, but he lost his life in an automobile wreck. He loved the band. He was one of those willing to do what was best for the band. He embodied the spirit of what the band is and what it can do for each member and the member’s family. We are pleased with the opportunity each year to remember him and honor his legacy.

 

We express our thanks to all those who will graciously and generously contribute to the scholarship fund this year. Portions of the funding come from donations made at the Hotdog Picnic and Preview Concert, Christmas Concert, Jazz Concert, Percussion Concert, and Spring Concert. We are now able to accept donations through the band website as well.

 

We are only able to continue this memorial scholarship because of you, our band family.

Thank you sincerely,

Mark & Chris Blackhurst
