Our Mission

Opportunity should never be a matter of circumstance.

An invitation-only scholarship initiative that identifies, develops, and connects outstanding student musicians, dancers, and aspiring sound engineers with colleges and universities across the nation.

Founded by Sheriff Reginald B. Scandrett, an accomplished percussionist and lifelong advocate for music education, and shaped alongside Don P. Roberts, the acclaimed music educator and “Drumline” consultant. Supported by the Henry County Sheriff’s Office Foundation, in partnership with ESPN Events and the Conn-Selmer Corporation.

The Stage Awaits

Watch what happens when a community invests in its young musicians.

Join us for the ESPN Events Red Lobster Band of the Year at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and see the next generation take the field. Your seat helps fund their futures.
