Hello all! We would be remiss if we did not mention the runner-up to the recipient of the Rhonda F. Rodgers Band Scholarship Fund. His name is Lord Manchester Ayuk. He is also a graduate of King Preparatory High School in Chicago. He will be attending the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff where he will major in Digitial Media Studies. Lord is a percussionist (bass drummer), who will be playing in the Golden Lions Marching Band along side Mehki. The committee decided to award him a stipend as well.
We spoke with his mother Tuesday and she was sooo very appreciative of our efforts to reward students in this way. Going forward, we are certain that he will do well in school and that we only expect GREAT things from him.
Again, many thanks to everyone for your unselfish contributions to the scholarship fund.
We love you Rhonda and promise to continue to keep your legacy and spirit alive! ✨🎶️ 💙🤍

Many thanks for unselfish contributions made towards the scholarship fund! Without you, this would not have been possible. Many thanks to beautiful sisters Oteal, Keesha and Fredricka for their assistance with structural and committee work.
