Beau Hansen

BEAU HANSEN is the founder of River City Rhythm and is the current Executive Director of the organization. Beau has been involved in the marching arts since high school, as a performer and instructor, teaching various drumlines in Minnesota (starting up two of them), leading multiple ensembles to MPA State Championships and was inducted into the MPA Hall of Fame in 2016.

Beau’s proudest accomplishments include starting RCR as an indoor drumline in 2009, then expanding to a full drum & bugle corps in 2015, adding a winter guard in 2018 and seeing all three ensembles compete in the WGI and DCI World Championships during their respective seasons. He is extremely grateful to the many staff and volunteers who played large parts in RCR’s success along the way.

Away from RCR, Beau still teaches indoor drumline, currently at Buffalo High School (MN); he’s a passionate fan of movies and loves video games, the Twins, Vikings, and Timberwolves.
