HOOVER MIDDLE SCHOOL: Bands bring the house down!



On March 14, the Hoover Middle School Bands competed in the MSBOA District 12 Band Festival held at Dearborn Heights Riverside Middle School.  

The Hoover Varsity Band performed at 8 a.m. and the Hoover Concert Band performed at 2 p.m.  Bands performed three selections on stage and were rated by three separate musical judges.  Afterward each group was required to site read a selection which they had never played.  

They were given comments and a rating by the site-reading judge.  Both groups from Hoover were awarded the highest overall first division rating.  The Hoover Varsity Band received all First Division Ratings.  The Concert Band received all First Division Ratings and one Second Division rating.  

Many parents were in attendance, and Band Director Jim Bergler was extremely proud of both groups.  The Hoover bands will perform their musical selections at an upcoming concert on March 27 at the Hoover Gymnasium.  The concert will also feature many smaller ensembles, and the Hoover Jazz Band.
