Heather Evarts Memorial Scholarship The Montgomery Band Parents honor Heather Evarts, a young woman who graduated from Montgomery High School. She loved the band.

The Montgomery Band Parents honor Heather’s memory with a continuing scholarship in her name.
Nicola Cox Memorial Scholarship The Montgomery Band Parents honor Nicola Cox, who graduated from Montgomery High School in 2003. During her time as a high school student, she embraced the band program as a second family and gave much of herself to it through her leadership and love of music. Nicola loved the band and the band loved her. Nicola was lost in a tragic car accident the summer after her high school graduation. Her parents endowed a scholarship for 10 years in her memory to be given to a band senior that exemplifies the same passion and love for band. The Montgomery High School Band Parents are honored to continue supporting that scholarship in her name.
