Dear World Of Pageantry members,
It is with a heavy heart that I must pass along the following information to you:
"The Chino Invitational Committee learned last week that Co-founder Dennis P. Rodda passed away in his home. We are all very saddened by this news. He was a true lover of the performing arts and in particular the Band Review. He will be dearly missed. This year’s event will be dedicated to him. We know he would want us to carry on the great tradition of the Invitational, and the committee is starting our meetings early so we can do just that. Co-founder Harold Nelms has taken over the position of Chairman. At this time, only a private family memorial has been planned. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Chino Invitational Committee at hutchts@verizon.net.
Thank you,
The Chino Invitational Committee"
Having known Dennis off and on for several years, it was always a pleasure to chat with him at Invitationals about the event, the performances, and music education in general. He was truly dedicated to the events he helped operate, and has been a great educator, mentor, and friend to us on these boards for several years. As an alumnus of Chino High School, I can truly say that the impact he left on our program and event is immeasurable. He will be greatly missed.
If you have any questions, or would like to send condolences, please contact the Chino Invitational Committee at hutchts@verizon.net.
