Jessica Perkins, a native of Davenport, Iowa, has led successful and innovative band and orchestra programs at all levels of instruction. She holds a B.M. in Music Education and Euphonium Performance and a Master’s degree in Music Education, both from The University of Iowa. Prior to her appointment at Northern State University, she spent five years as the orchestra director at Simmons Middle School in Aberdeen, S.D. Under her direction, the Aberdeen Honor Orchestra
performed at the South Dakota Music Educators Association Conference in Rapid City.
Before she moved to South Dakota, she served as Director of Bands at Xavier High School, a large high school in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. During her time there, she led the band to the first Division “I” ratings in both marching band and concert band in the history of the school.
Perkins maintains an active schedule as a euphonium soloist, having been featured with high school, community, and university bands and orchestras throughout Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. In 2000, Perkins was the winner of the Music Teachers National Association Collegiate Brass Solo Artist competition, as well as the University of Iowa Concerto Competition. She also appeared as a featured guest artist at the Hawkeye Regional Tuba-Euphonium Conference at the University of Iowa. She is a board member of the South Dakota Music Educators Association, where she serves as the editor of The South Dakota Musician, the official publication of the SDMEA. Perkins has also been the staff music arranger for the NSU Marching Wolves since 2008.
Dr. Boyd Perkins serves as Director of Bands and Chairman of the Music Department at Northern State University, Aberdeen, South Dakota. A native of Brookings, South Dakota, Perkins earned his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Wind Conducting from The University of Iowa. Additional degrees include a Master of Arts degree in Wind Conducting from The University of Iowa and a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from South Dakota State University. With successful public school teaching experience in
Iowa, South Dakota, and Minnesota, Dr. Perkins has developed a strong multifaceted reputation as a music educator in the areas of concert band, marching band, and jazz. He maintains an active adjudication and clinician schedule in all three areas. Dr. Perkins’ duties at NSU include low brass studies, instrumental conducting, marching band, symphonic band, marching band techniques, music-education courses, and student-teacher supervision. Most recently under Dr. Perkins’ leadership, the NSU Marching Wolves were the lone selection from South Dakota in the 2006 Waikiki Holiday Parade commemorating the 65th Anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In 2005 the Marching Wolves were one of eight collegiate bands selected to appear in the Presidential Inaugural Parade in Washington, D.C. As a euphonium performer, Dr. Perkins has been the runner up in the national MTNA-Wurlitzer Brass competition, and has appeared as a soloist with numerous high school, college, and community bands. He is currently the Band Chair for the South Dakota Music Educators Association, editor of the “South Dakota Musician” magazine and the State representative for the National Band Association. His professional affiliations include College Band Directors National Association, National Band Association, South Dakota Bandmasters Association, Iowa Bandmasters Association, Music Educators National Conference, International Tuba Euphonium Association, International Trombone Association, Pi Kappa Lamda, and Phi Beta Mu.
Dr. Terry Beckler currently serves as Percussion Professor and Assistant Director of Bands at Northern State University. Prior to his appointment at NSU, Beckler served as Director of Bands at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, Minn. and Director of Bands at Huron University. He also has ten years of public school experience as band director for the Red Rock Central (Lamberton, Minn.) and Sioux Valley (Volga, S.D.) school districts. Beckler has been a member of the 147th Army Band based in Mitchell, SD
for over twenty years. He enlisted in 1986 as a percussionist and since 1998 has served as commander/conductor of this group. In January of 2006 the 147th Army Band was awarded the Howard Citation of Musical Excellence administered by the John Philip Sousa Foundation. Beckler currently holds the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 3. He is an active clinician in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota and a former member of the Troopers Drum & Bugle Corps.
