“I am very particular in terms of whom I will allow in

front of my kids and you most certainly are at the top of

my list!  The full group leadership activity that you

conducted is still the talk of the parents. I was also

impressed with your complete willingness to jump               

in and help in anyway that you could from running

sectionals, overseeing drill basics, fixing drill

problems and conducting large group motivational

activities.”

“Bill Humbert is always my first call when there i

s an opportunity to work with students.  Whether

it is a leadership camp, serving as adjudicator,

or running a clinic, Bill has the incredible ability

to energize the room and inspire every student. 

He challenges them to think bigger, lead

with empathy, and leave stronger than they arrived."

Dr. Thomas Kloss, Associate Director of Bands

“I just wanted to thank you again for coming out and

working with the kids. I had no idea how much they needed

it until we got into it. It was very productive. We are putting many of the ideas that we decided on into action now. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you again. I think the kids

really learned a lot from it and it has certainly helped

get our program going in the right direction. Thanks

again so much for a great clinic.”​​

​Jennifer Hamilton, Director of Bands

Red Mountain High School, Arizona

"​I hosted Bill on my campus for three years and will

have him out this summer for a fourth time. In that time,

we have instituted many of his techniques into our day

to day rehearsals and they have a made significant

difference in our rehearsals and the overall work ethic

of the band. The kids really try to build each other up

and work with each other from veterans to rookies.

Each year our leaders have grown stronger and have

taken more ownership in the entire program. It truly

has made us a better band!"

​

Carson L. Vermillion, D. M. A.,

Director of Bands - Science Hill High School, TN

Humbert's Leadership camps each year. Students gain practical skills to lead effective sectionals while developing

a deeper understanding of leadership in band culture.

Under Bill's guidance every student is engage,

empowered and inspired.  I highly recommend

this experience to elevate their student leadership team."

pushing participants to reevealuate their 

choices and become better human beings.
