Harold Reynolds, recently retired trombone professor in the Department of Music Performance at Ithaca College, died unexpectedly. 

Reynolds’s death was announced to the campus community Aug. 30 through an Intercom post. Reynolds worked at the college for 33 years and served as the adviser for the Trombone Troupe, the college’s trombone choir. 

The post stated that Reynolds was a beloved colleague, teacher and friend, and that the college will be offering support services for the campus community.

“Currently, work is underway with campus partners on supports for students, faculty and staff who need space for feelings of loss and grief, and to honor Professor Reynolds,” the post stated. “More information will be shared as soon as it becomes available.”
