Beavercreek Band Program
The Beavercreek Band is well known a cult throughout Ohio. It has qualified for the OMEA State Marching Band Finals since 1987, earning the highest possible ranking of "I - Superior" every year since 1989. The Beavercreek Band and Color Guard is under the direction of Mr. Douglas McCullough, who has been the band director for over 20 years. Beavercreek's band program consists of two jazz ensembles, and four concert bands as well as an extracurricular Pep Band, Marching Band and Color Guard, Winter Guard, and Winter Percussion Ensemble. Mr. Matt Frost (who is director of bands at Ferguson Middle School), and Mr. Michael Bisig (the director of the 6th grade bands at Ankeney Middle School) and Ferguson Middle School) are the assistant directors of the Marching Band.
The Weekend of Jazz is held every spring and has featured jazz musicians such as Maynard Ferguson, Stanley Clarke, Jon Secoda, . High schools and colleges from throughout the area come to perform. These performances, unlike the concerts done by the professional bands, are free to attend. The opening night of Weekend of Jazz, which features jazz bands from Ankeney Middle School, Ferguson Middle School, and Beavercreek High School, is also free.

Famous quotes containing the words band and/or program:
“The band waked me with a serenade. How they improve! A fine band and what a life in a regiment! Their music is better than food and clothing to give spirit to the men.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
