At the recent annual fine arts teacher appreciation luncheon hosted by Arts Roundup, Glen Belcher received a standing ovation and plaque honoring his service as the director of STARTS (Support the ARTS).
STARTS was organized in 2016 as an initiative of the Cumberland County Community Band to promote community support for fine arts education in Cumberland County schools. These range from band, chorus, classroom music to drama and visual arts.
Belcher also served as a conductor for the Community Band from 2015-19 and has played euphonium with the band.
