Marching season

11/1/2015

What an Amazing marching band season we had!!

We traveled to Harrison on October 16th for a combined show with the Harrison Hornet Marching Band - performing during pre-game and half-time of the football game.
 Thank you Mrs. Danielak and the Marching Hornets for a great event.


*We traveled to Mt. Pleasant on October 17th to perform at CMU Band Day.  
  Mrs. Kintner (1984 CMU Alum directed CMU fight song at halftime).
Thank you Mr. Batchellor and Mr. Williamson (CMU directors) and the CMU Marching Chips for an awesome experience.


 Our final performance of the football season was October 23rd.  
 We honored senior band members and their parents at halftime and 
​finally put the third drill on the field with DANCE moves to Shut up and Dance.  
Thank you everyone for a great season.
Thank You parents for helping when/where needed.  
We couldn't do it without you :)

Now - on to Concert season.

​Have you begun to practice your all star audition music?

Well, it's been quite the year. Being seniors and all, Mrs. Kintner kept us busy. We qualified for State Band Festival, played some cool songs, and said goodbye. But is it really goodbye? Sure, some of us will never come back, moving on to new endeavors and fun adventures. But a couple of us "true band geeks" will come back, year after year, because we want to. Why? Because we love Beaverton, we love Mrs. K, and we love you guys! Alumni Day during Marching Band season, the occasional basketball/hockey game, Christmas/Spring Concerts, and even Festivals; I bet you'll see at least one of us. It'll be hard, working around schedules and stuff, but I think we'll try. So is it goodbye? No. It's until we meet again. Because Mrs. Kintner and the Beaverton Band (and Choir) are awesome!

Thanks for the music, Collin Haight and the rest of the senior class of 2015 =)

Homecoming 2014

10/11/2014

Homecoming @ BHS was absolutely wonderful yesterday!!! I want to thank everyone who helped to make this day a SUCCESS and something that our students can one day look back on. It was so good to see former students and to have Alumni join the band during pregame! Keep your instruments/music/supplies ready to go for next year.


 Beaverton Band/Color Guard not only work on your craft during the school day - but - give of "your time" after school. When your peers are having fun - you are working/spending time with me. Musicianship and Marching skills have improved dramatically since the beginning of the year. The leadership of various Juniors/Seniors is what makes this group what it is. I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of each and every one of you. We don't know if our marching season is over or not. We have to wait and see what the next two weeks of football scores reveal. We shall be ready to travel if asked.
 Let's give the Alumni a big round of applause for making time to perform with us last night!!!
 Have a great time at the Dance tonight AND get some much needed rest. That is my plan - or what I've been instructed to do.

 MSVMA District 9 Choral Festival was once again hosted by Standish-Sterling Central High School on February 27 & 28, 2014.   Twenty-seven choirs from all over north east Michigan performed at this two day festival.  
      Choirs are judged on Tone, Pitch, Rhythm, Diction, Interpretation and Presentation on a scale of 1 - 5 (with 5 being the best) by highly qualified adjudicators in the performance room and sight reading room.  
     The Beaverton Middle School Choir performed Child of Tomorrow by Patterson and Child of the Universe by Cassils (MS Primary Unison) and the Beaverton High School Choir performed River, Sing Your Song by Butler and Come Live With Me and Be My Love by Gilpin (HS Primary SAB).    
     Both groups achieved their "goal" of not receiving anything lower than a 3 in any given category.  Both groups received an "Excellent" Rating ~ Qualifying for STATE.  
     I would like to thank  Mark Lundgren of Standish for hosting/running this event and Emerick Dee of Roscommon for helping schedule all the groups.
     We would also like to THANK Mrs. April Dice for accompanying both groups again this year and look forward to working with her for our spring concert on May 28th.


MSBOA District IX Band and Orchestra Festival 2014:  Member schools had the choice of signing up to perform in February @ Oscoda HS or in March @ Roscommon HS.    Weather was certainly a concern and prevented us from performing in Oscoda.  Luckily, Beaverton was rescheduled to perform at Roscommon HS on March 8th. 
      Instrumental groups are assessed by highly qualified adjudicators on Tone, Intonation, Rhythm, Technique and Interpretation in the performance room and sight reading room.   A Division I represents an excellent level performance and musicianship.  A Division II represents a Good level of performance and musicianship, but not worthy of the highest rating because of minor defects.  A Division III represents a Fair level of performance and musicianship, but not outstanding.  Shows accomplishment and promise, but is lacking in some essential qualities.  A Division IV represents a Poor level of performance and musicianship which is lacking in many essential qualities.  A Division V represents an unsatisfactory performance.
     The Beaverton 8th Grade Band performed March Royale by Williams, On the Colorado Trail by LaPlante and Celtic Air and Dance No 2 by Sweeney.   The Beaverton High School Band performed Normandy Beach March by Edmondson, Nathan Hale Trilogy by Curnow and Down By the Salley Gardens by Sweeney. 
      Both groups set a goal of receiving nothing lower than a B in any given category.    The 8th Grade Band exceeded this goal and received an over-all  Division I Rating - just qualifying for state.  The HS Band received an over-all Division II Rating - just missing the mark to qualify for state (by one letter in one category).
     We would like to THANK Karen Lopez of Oscoda (for hosting and chairing this event), Seth Kilbourn of Roscommon (for hosting) and the parents who traveled via school bus and helped chaperon this trip.
     We would also like to send a big THANK YOU out to  Warren and Diane White for donating a pizza luncheon for the Beaverton musicians.  Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated and certainly does not go unnoticed.
