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.
