We are saddened to share the loss of FVA Roll of Distinction member Ronald L. Corbin. He passed away on August 22, 2026. He began his teaching career at Bartow High School, and in 1980 came to Martin County High School, where he taught for 34 years. Mr. Corbin assumed the leadership of all the vocal groups including OPUS, "Outstanding People United to Sing" His choirs consistently earned superior ratings at district and state performance assessments and were recognized as Choirs of Distinction by FVA.

Corbin was added to the Roll of Distinction in 2014. In 2017 he received the R. Wayne Hugoboom Distinguished Service Award from the Florida chapter of the American Choral Directors Association. The Ronald L. Corbin Musical Arts Center at Martin County High School was dedicated in his name in 2015.

We remember Ron with gratitude for his years of service, his passion for choral music, his mentorship, and the countless students and educators whose lives were enriched by his presence.

Our deepest condolences go to Ron’s family, friends, former students, and the many members of FVA and the choral communities who loved and respected him.
