Congratulations to Ruth Livengood, who was named Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association (MSBOA) District 6 Teacher of the Year by her peers!

When Mrs. Livengood started at Brandywine, the band program had dwindled down to 11 students. With her leadership, the program numbers doubled in a year, she established a marching band soon after, and in five years had close to 80 students in a small Class "C" high school band consistently earning Division 1 ratings at MSBOA festivals.

An accomplished professional trombonist, Ruth’s performance credits include a Grammy-nominated album (Aleluya by Lucia Parker) and a multi-year tenure performing with jazz artist Ed Bagatini. Her versatility as a musician is further reflected in her work with various orchestras, brass quintets, and ensembles throughout Southwest Michigan and Northern Indiana. Additionally, she shares her expertise as a member of the adjunct faculty at Lake Michigan College, where she serves as a low brass professor.

We are so PROUD to call Mrs. Livengood a Bobcat! Congratulations!
