North Paulding High School Band

North Paulding High School Band Home of the Wolfpack Pride Marching Band! Music is a composite of science, mathematics, world languages, history and physical education.

It is exact, specific and demands exact acoustics, frequencies, intensities, volume changes, melody, harmony and exact control of time. It is rhythmically based on subdivisions of time into fractions. It is a highly developed kind of shorthand and semantics that make up the most complete and universal language. It reflects the environment and times of its creation. It requires close coordination o

f muscles and body control. Music is taught so students will recognize beauty, develop sensitivity and in short, enjoy more out of life.

Last week, eight of our leaders attended the "Be the Change: Summit Leadership Conference" at GSU.

Here are the 8 takeaways our leaders are bringing with them:

1. Communication isn't what you say; it's what the listener gets. - we are committing to be better listeners!

2. Get comfortable with the uncomfortable - we are committing to stepping outside our comfort zone and trying new things!

3. Talking to unfamiliar people often feels intimidating, but simply taking the first step forward is often rewarding - we commit to talk to MORE people.

4. If you put more INTO it, you get more OUT of it - we commit to show up well!

5. Be CURIOUS, not judgemental - we commit to ask before we assume.

6. Leader = Follower. There isn't a top leader, just ONE band - we commit to being the first follower.

7. Leadership is more than the title; it's the impression you make on others - we commit to leaving the best impression no matter our title.

8. The culture of the program's tomorrow is created by the actions people choose and repeatedly do today - we commit to preparing the future by showing up today!

Welcome Home, Mr. B!

North Paulding High School is excited to welcome Mike Bearden back home to serve as the next Director of Bands.

Mr. Bearden previously served the North Paulding Band Program from 2012–2019, helping build a tradition of excellence, leadership, and pride throughout the program.

During his previous tenure at North Paulding, Mr. Bearden:

• Directed a marching band that grew to 200 members, along with multiple concert bands, jazz ensemble, and chamber ensembles
• Facilitated concert percussion ensembles, competitive indoor percussion, and winterguard
• Led the Wind Symphony to invitational performances at the GMEA In-Service Conference, Reinhardt University Honor Band, UGA JanFest, University of Alabama Honor Band Festival, and the Kennesaw State University Band Invitational
• Guided marching band and concert ensembles to consistent Superior ratings at adjudicated events
• Earned multiple Marching Band Grand Champion awards, including Old Southeastern, Heart of Georgia, White Columns, Creekview Classic, and Battle on the Border
• Helped North Paulding earn representation at GMEA All-State Band for the first time in school history in 2013
• Saw major growth in District Honor Band participation, All-State advancement, and regional honor band involvement

As Mr. Bearden returns to North Paulding, he brings with him a clear vision for the future of the program through The Pack Standard:

A blueprint for building a band program where every student matters, every expectation has purpose, and excellence becomes the culture.

Through Impact, Standards, and Culture, the North Paulding Band will strive to develop compassionate servant leaders, pursue excellence without compromise, and create an environment where every student feels part of something bigger than themselves.

Mr. Bearden and his family look forward to being a part of the North community once again.

The next chapter of Wolfpack Pride begins now.
