Atchley
The Marv Atchley Memorial Fund recently awarded its final music scholarships to seven vocal students who plan to perform in Italy this summer.
Over the last two and a half years, the fund awarded $12,950 to 27 local middle school and high school students who needed financial help to pursue their interest in vocal or instrumental studies.

Members of the St. Helena Choral Society and the Saint Helena Community Band established the fund in 2022 to honor the memory of Marv Atchley, a beloved vocalist and instrumentalist in the local choir and band since they were founded in 1979 and 2007, respectively. In addition to his many musical talents, Marv was known for his generous volunteerism and great sense of humor.
In the fund’s first year, it helped instrumentalists afford private lessons in piano, trumpet, cello and guitar. Last year it helped several students travel to Los Angeles to participate in a band competition. This year it awarded its last $3,100 to seven vocal students to help defray the cost of traveling to Italy.
