SIXTH GRADE ACADEMY: Band visits Hoover

The band students at the Sixth Grade Academy went to Hoover Middle School on December 12, 2014 to attend the Hoover Winter Concert presented by the band and chorus students. The sixth-grade students enjoyed seeing the instruments that we don't have at the Sixth Grade Academy. They especially liked the bassoon, bass clarinet and the baritone saxophone. The band students are looking forward to attending the Hoover Spring Concert in March.

There are about 140 Hoover Band students. The Concert Band is the top band made up of all eighth-grade students. There are also two Varsity Bands made up of all seventh-grade students and an Intro Band made up of both seventh and eighth grade students. The Jazz Band is made up of select eighth-grade band students. All bands rehearse daily and the two Varsity Bands and Intro Bands combine for performances. Mr. Bergler is in his 24th as the Band Director at Hoover Middle School

Hoover offers two choirs, the concert Choir (made up of eighth-grade girls) and the Chorallers Choir (made up of seventh and eighth grade). Our theme this year was Motown/Beatles. We are currently preparing for the district competition that will be held on Thursday, March 5 at Whitmore Lake High School. The choir is directed by Mrs. Joanne Farmer.
