SOCIETY CHAPTER
Eugene Bumgardner Inducted to High School
Choral Hall of Fame
This spring, Eugene Bumgarder was
inducted into the High School Choral Hall of
Fame. Here’s what the nominator had to say
about Bumgardner in the application:
Mr. Bumgardner, along with with his many
years of teaching experience and other accolades,
has been a constant supporter of choral music
education in North and South Carolina over 30
years. In that time, he has exhibited and proven again
and again his passion and love for choral music and working with high
school students. For Mr. B., it is ALWAYS about the students. In the 10
years I have known him personally, he has been a constant supporter
and mentor to me. He gladly volunteers his time to work with my
honors chorus and clinic students to prepare them for various events.
He is always there at the drop of a hat to help work with my students
or to give me ideas, solutions to problems, and encouragement. Mr.
Bumgardner has been one the most influential teachers in my life, even
though I never had him as a classroom teacher. He is an inspiration to
all who know him, which is evident by the way his alumni members are
always so eager to see him and how my current students respond to his
rehearsal techniques and choral music expertise.
The High School Choral Section is proud to honor such a
deserving music educator. Thank you, Mr. Bumgardner, for your
leadership and length of service in our state!
