In Honor of Dale Beacock.
The public is invited to a special ceremony on September 28, 2012 as Clark College rededicates its music building, naming it in honor of Clark College alumnus, educator, musician and arts supporter Dale Beacock.
The ceremony will be held at 3 p.m. on the east side of the music building, near the Royce E. Pollard Japanese Friendship Garden. A reception will follow. Clark College is located at 1933 Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver.
“Clark College President Robert K. Knight said, “If you look through our college newsletters – especially those from the 1970s – you will see that Dale was everywhere. He was the director of our concert band, jazz band and brass sextet. Under his leadership, those groups performed and competed across our region and in other states. Dale could also be seen leading a pep band during pep rallies for our athletic teams.
Beacock took part in countless community events, performing with the Southwest Washington Wind Symphony and serving as director of the New Horizons Band, which has performed at the Luekpe Center and other venues across the region. He died in Aug. 2011.”
