Rodney Hudson Band Scholarship Fund

In 2021 a generous donor and Blugold alumni, started the Concert Band Scholarship to help UWEC Bands recruit and retain strong musicians into the program. As of 2022, the Concert Band Scholarship was renamed to honor emeritus faculty member Rodney Hudson. Prof. Hudson was on the UWEC faculty from 1971-2003 and was a valuable contributor to the success of the band program. During his time at UWEC, Prof. Hudson served as trombone professor, and conductor of the bands, including Concert Band I, Concert Band II, and the Symphony Band. Since retirement, Mr. Hudson has remained an avid supporter of the Bands and frequently attends rehearsals, concerts, and serves as guest conductor and adjudicator for concerto and conductor competitions. During the 2022-2023 academic year, UWEC Bands celebrated 100 years of music on campus. The Rodney Hudson Band Scholarship is now a quasi-endowed scholarship that can be sustained for years. All gifts support scholarships for Music Majors who play in the bands at UWEC.

Every contribution makes a difference!
