“Echoes of Eternity” was recorded at NFL Films in Mt. Laurel, N.J. using an 80-piece orchestra comprised of top level musicians from the New York and Philadelphia area. It will debut during Friday’s Enshrinees Dinner & Gold Jacket Presentation and also be played for the unveiling of each of the busts during the enshrinement on Saturday evening.
“A theme like this you want to put the listener in the place of the person being enshrined,” commented Robidoux. “It’s about capturing a moment.”
Robidoux had coordinated with the NFL’s Senior Vice President of Events Frank Supovitz to create a theme for the Vince Lombardi Trophy presentation that debuted in 2006 at Super Bowl XL. Supovitz, who works closely with the Hall of Fame, NFL Network, and ESPN to produce the Enshrinement Ceremony, approached Robidoux with the idea of creating a special Hall of Fame theme.
“We sought to create a theme as grand and inspirational as the Hall of Fame Enshrinement itself. Adding this dramatic music to an already incredibly emotional day for the enshrinees and fans we think will further augment the occasion,” stated Supovitz.
The Class of 2011 – Richard Dent, Marshall Faulk, Chris Hanburger, Les Richter, Ed Sabol, Deion Sanders, and Shannon Sharpe – will be officially inducted during the ceremony set for Saturday, Aug. 6 at 7 p.m. ET.

Redskins defensive QB
Class of 2011 Enshrinee Chris Hanburger didn’t draw much fanfare during his 14-season career most because of his quiet demeanor. But, there was no ignoring him during the Redskins 1972 season when he helped lead the team to its first Super Bowl.
