Each October, the Country Music Hall of Fame formally inducts three new members, who receive country music’s highest honor. For the two weeks leading up to the Medallion Ceremony, initiates of the Museum’s Circle Guard conduct the Road to the Hall of Fame: Rite of Remembrance and Salute, a daily ceremony honoring all of the Country Music Hall of Fame members who have come before this newest class. The Circle Guard shares each Hall of Fame member’s biography in the order of their induction, from 1961 through present day. During the ceremony, the Circle Guard wears ceremonial garb designed by couturier Sandi Spika Borchetta, and the plaques of the Hall of Fame members being celebrated are illuminated and adorned for emphasis. Day four of the Rite of Remembrance and Salute will honor members of the Hall of Fame classes of 1980 through 1984: Johnny Cash, Connie B. Gay, the original Sons of the Pioneers, Vernon Dalhart, Grant Turner, Lefty Frizzell, Roy Horton, Marty Robbins, Little Jimmy Dickens, Ralph Peer, and Floyd Tillman. Hall of Fame Rotunda. Included with Museum admission. Free to Museum members.
