Music was a lifelong interest and pleasure for William “Bill” Humbert. For many years, Bill taught clarinet and saxophone lessons to private students in Carroll and Harford Counties in Maryland. He was a charter member of the Bel Air Community Band when it was formed in 1964, and served as president of the band for ten years and remained an active member of the clarinet section until he became ill in the fall of 2000. In 1967, while working with the Bel Air Recreation Council, Bill helped to form the Bel Air Summer Concert Series, which continues to feature concerts every summer.

The Community Foundation of Harford County is proud to honor Bill Humbert’s legacy through the William A. Humbert Memorial Scholarship Fund.
