William
Beegle
Though his
trumpet has long been put away, William Beegle continues to sing in the
First Presbyterian Church choir and the French City Barbershop Chorus.
As an educator, he has always encouraged students to enjoy the arts,
especially music. In his own youth, Beegle played trumpet in his high
school band, sang with The All Ohio Youth Choir, and played trumpet with
The 110 Marching Men of Ohio (Ohio University).
The
performing arts have played a major role in Beegle's life and the life
of his family. He says that music has provided that special chord that
helps sustain us. |
