The Brother Martin High School Advancement and Alumni Relations Office hosted a Twelfth Night Celebration honoring Arthur Hardy to endow a scholarship in his name.
The Arthur Hardy Fine Arts Scholarship was established in the St. Aloysius Century Foundation in June of 2022 thanks to many gifts made in support of the Crusader Band. The scholarship is a Need-Based Financial Assistance award that honors Arthur Hardy, who served as the Band Director at Brother Martin from 1973-1989.
The formal celebration occurred at Dr. Keith Lescale's ’79 home on St. Charles Avenue on January 6th. Arthur Hardy arrived on the Phunny Phorty Phellows Streetcar and was welcomed by a second line band, comprised of Alumni Band Members. Special thanks to Stanton Moore ’90, John Wooton, and guests, who provided entertainment for the event.
