Around Campus GREERS WIN 81ST TUG

The Greers won the 81st BGA Tug across the Harpeth River. It was one of the longest Tugs in years – nearly three minutes – before the Greers ultimately prevailed.

Platos lead the all-time Tug record with 41 wins. The Greers have won 38 times, and there are two ties, which occurred when the rope broke.

With more than 350 students involved, BGA’s annual tug-of-war is one of the largest and oldest tug-of-war competitions in the United States.

FROM THE

Head of School Welcome to the latest edition of Echo magazine.

While this magazine derives its name from the Glen Echo campus of BGA, it is also precisely that – an “echo” of the experiences at BGA and how they have impacted our many alumni throughout their lives after the Academy.

In this edition the focus is on the many connections made at and through BGA. Whether in politics, finance, entrepreneurship, law, or entertainment, the BGA family provides opportunities to one another that simply would not be possible otherwise.

The privilege of providing students and families the best complete educational experience in the area transitions immediately to the privilege of helping our alumni thrive in Middle Tennessee and beyond. As I talk to our graduates, the number of internships, opportunities, contacts, introductions, or simply words of wisdom they attribute to their BGA connections is incredibly impressive. Alums want to help other alums, even those whom they did not know in school or who are generations apart, and they do so because of their love for the school and the recognition that someone has done the same for them.

BGA provides a robust network of connections and support for its alumni in order to help strengthen their opportunities to be successful, and in order to help deepen those connections, we need you, our BGA community, to stay engaged, connected, and supportive. Whether you are local and send your children to BGA or thousands of miles away and stay updated with our newsletter, magazine, and events, our alumni are an essential part of continuing to raise the profile of the Academy. Your personal success, direct involvement, and generous support of the school enable BGA to stay at the forefront of education and provide an experience that prepares today's students for their future, a future that will certainly see them looking to you for opportunities – and looking back to BGA to help the next generation of graduates.

I hope you enjoy this celebration of the BGA family and its powerful impact on the entire community. As the proud parent of a recent BGA graduate (Bennett ’19) and a rising senior (Ellen ’20), I have seen this impact already and know that it will be even stronger by the time my youngest (Walker ’24) heads off to college. Thank you for all you do to make BGA such a special place!

WINTER TRAVELS

SECOND GRADERS PARTICIPATE IN SYMBOLIC MIGRATION

Students in Monica Frazier’s second grade Spanish class were among 60,000 students from across the United States and Canada who participated in Journey North’s 23rd annual Symbolic Monarch Butterfly Migration, which unites schoolchildren across North America.

BGA students wrote notes in Spanish and sent their paper butterflies to Mexico for the winter, where children who live near the monarch’s winter sanctuaries protected the creations until it was time for them to “fly north” this spring.

Throughout the project, students were able to follow their butterflies’ migration via Journey North’s website, which tracked their movement in real time.

RODRIGUEZ NAMED HEAD FOOTBALL COACH Battle Ground Academy has named Jonas Rodriguez as its head football coach.

He joins BGA after serving in the same capacity for Evangelical Christian School (ECS) for the past two years.

"From the very beginning of our search, Jonas emerged as our top choice to take the reins of our football program,” said Will Kesler, BGA Head of School.

“With a wealth of independent school experience and a track record of success at every level of his coaching tenure, we are confident he can build on the tradition of success we have enjoyed at BGA for many years."

At ECS, he led a rebuilding effort that resulted in his team reaching the Division II-AA playoffs in 2017 and 2018. He was named the 2018 Division II-AA West Region Coach of the Year. He also served as athletic director at ECS.

Rodriguez has 15 years of overall football coaching experience. Prior to ECS, he served as associate head football coach at Ensworth School, where he was part of multiple state championship teams.

Previously, he coached multiple sports at Montgomery Bell Academy (MBA) and Franklin Road Academy after a playing career at MBA and Yale University.

In addition to his duties as head football coach, Rodriguez will work with BGA Upper School students and be part of the school’s Advancement Office. He and his wife, Crockett, have four children, Richard (9), Eleanor (8), Hale (6) and Jack (4).

BGA SENIORS SIGN LETTERS OF INTENT Thirteen members of the BGA Class of 2019 signed letters of intent to continue their athletic careers in college.

MILESTONES & ACCOMPLISHMENTS BGA CELEBRATES ROB MITCHELL'S RETIREMENT FROM COACHING Last fall, BGA hosted a retirement celebration for Rob Mitchell, who served as the boys varsity soccer coach for two decades.

“Coaching the BGA soccer team was a dream come true, and I loved every minute of it,” Mitchell said. “That being said, I felt the time was right for me to step aside. In 2017, I made the decision that my son’s senior year would also be my final season as the coach.”

In his 20 years as head coach, Mitchell coached his team to two state championships, two state runner-ups, three semifinals, and nine quarterfinals. He also coached five regional champions and two regional runner-ups. During his final season, Mitchell surpassed the 200-victory mark and his team rallied for a state runner-up finish. ”Rob was an excellent coach and continues to be an excellent teacher and mentor," said BGA Athletic Director Fred Eaves.

“Under his leadership, BGA’s boys soccer team was one of the top programs in Tennessee for 20 years. His legacy is evident in each of the student-athletes he coached because of their strong work ethic, resilience, and accountability.”

Mitchell, a 1990 graduate of BGA, joined the faculty in 1996 as an eighth grade history teacher, and continues to serve as the Middle School Athletic Director and 7th-8th Grade Dean.

Character and Service

THE BGA WAY CHARACTER PROGRAM INTRODUCED FOR ALL STUDENTS Character is one of BGA’s three core values, and nurturing character in its students is a key part of the BGA mission. The BGA Way is the school’s approach to character education. Respect, compassion, accountability and resilience constitute the foundations of character in the BGA Way. These traits are the focus of a new character education program for all students in every division. Each quarter, one character trait becomes the lens through which BGA explores various topics relevant to student life.

From classroom curriculum and parent programming to athletics, clubs and leadership, the BGA Way is woven through all aspects of the BGA experience.

MIDDLE SCHOOL RAISES $5,195 FOR SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK BGA Middle School students raised $5,195.60 for Ms. Cheap’s Penny Drive benefiting Second Harvest Food Bank. BGA, which emphasizes community service and character education, has participated in the Penny Drive for several years. This year, Middle School students brainstormed creative ways to raise money, including hosting bake sales, dog treat sales and a holiday gift-wrapping station.

“I always love seeing how excited the students get about having this awesome opportunity to assist in providing meals for those in our community who are hungry,” said Dr. Jennifer Graham, Middle School community service coordinator.

“I am constantly amazed at what they come up with to raise money, and I just love seeing their enthusiasm!”

Each dollar raised for Second Harvest provides four meals for those in need.

Congratulations to BGA Middle School for helping to provide 20,783 meals through Second Harvest Food Bank.

Sisters and Philanthropy (SAP) – a regional girls’ service sorority that includes students from BGA, Brentwood Academy, Christ Presbyterian Academy and Harpeth Hall – encourages girls to support the Middle Tennessee community, form friendships and work together to make a positive impact through service projects and fundraising.

“Our goal for the year was to create a positive and enthusiastic environment where all girls could unite with the common goal of service,” Witt said. “With a lot of hard work and with our team of officers and returning members, SAP achieved that goal.”

SAP partners with numerous charities, including Thistle Farms and New Hope Academy, to complete community service projects. SAP also donates to a selected service partner.

THE POWER

OF THE BGA NETWORK Since its founding in 1889, Battle Ground Academy alumni have carried the close-knit community of campus into the real world.

With more than 4,000 Wildcats spread across the globe, the BGA alumni network is stronger than ever – and the connections made on campus continue to strengthen and deepen as classmates become colleagues.

Whether in the halls of government or academia, on stage or in the boardroom, in front of the camera or behind the controls, BGA alumni not only transform the world, they transform each other’s lives.

Below is a small sampling of how the BGA connection has made a difference for a few alumni in the Franklin area.

&

FOUNDING MEMBER, PN+M LAW

MATT ’02 WILLIAMS DIRECTOR, CORETRUST

Separated by 13 years, it didn’t take long into a cup of coffee at the Frothy Monkey for Chas Morton and Matt Williams to discover how much they had in common.

Both BGA alumni, they also shared experiences as Division I collegiate athletes, a passion for public service – and candidacy for the Williamson County Commission.

“Our circles overlap four or five times,” Williams ’02 said, “but we’d never met each other.”

Thanks to the unusual setup of the county commission, where two candidates are elected from each of 12 districts, Williams and Morton ’89 didn’t need to be political rivals; instead, they were allies, finishing in the top two of a tight four-way race in May. Although not the first BGA alumni to serve on the commission, they are the first two to serve together in the same district.

“Both of us look at it as service more than politics,” Morton said, “and I think that rings true with a lot of people.”

The two took different paths to BGA. Morton’s father and

ALUMNI FEATURES

grandfather are alumni, and although he was a competitive swimmer at a time when the school did not have a team, BGA worked with him to allow him the flexibility to compete as well as form an unofficial four-boy team that proved competitive at the state level.

Morton also served as class president for five of his six years on campus.

After being an All-American swimmer for Stanford University and receiving his law degree from Vanderbilt, Morton returned to his hometown and set up his practice in 1996.

By 2017, now with school-age children, Morton eyed a run for county commission, which funds Williamson County’s public schools with three-fourths of its more than half-billion-dollar budget. Also, Morton said, he felt his experience with real estate law could be helpful as the commission grappled with the county’s explosive development.

“It was a common topic around the dinner table,” Williams said, “and BGA does a good job instilling civic participation.”

Like Morton, Williams was active in both athletics and student government, playing football for two BGA state champions, baseball, tennis, and wrestling while also serving as class vice president for three years.

With a lot of BGA grads, there’s a common understanding, there’s a common experience that you can draw on.

After graduating, Williams played football for the Naval Academy, then served as an infantry officer in the Marines from 200513, deploying to Iraq twice.

“I was looking for a different avenue of service,” he said, “and I wanted to be involved in some of those issues.”

“BGA does a really good job of planting these seeds of getting involved,” he said.

After filing his paperwork, he received a call from Williams.

Unlike the Mortons’ multigenerational relationship with Franklin and BGA, Williams’ parents moved the family to the area shortly before he was born.

Nevertheless, public service runs in his blood: His father was U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee. Williams’ mother served on the Williamson County Commission from 1992 until her death in 2002, upon which his father took her seat, serving for another 11 years.

The next year, having returned home, he was ready to serve his community in a different capacity, running and winning a seat in the 10th District of the county commission, by far its youngest member at age 28.

Near the end of his four-year term, Williams’ father died, and he moved into his parents’ house – which was in another district. Because of strict residency requirements, Williams resigned his 10th District seat, and in 2018 ran in the Republican primary for the 9th District seat both of his parents had held.

Also in the race were one incumbent, the other incumbent’s hand-picked successor and, at the last minute, political newcomer Chas Morton.

“That’s how Chas and I met,” Williams said.

“The other two candidates were supporting

each other. We thought, ’Let’s hitch our wagons together and go win this thing.’”

In a close race, Morton and Williams came out on top – Williams finishing first by 19 votes, with Morton finishing 147 votes in front of the third-place finisher out of more than 4,100 ballots cast. With no Democratic challenger, the two were officially elected in August.

“With a lot of BGA grads, there’s a common understanding, there’s a common experience that you can draw on,” Williams said. “Probably between the two of us, we had a lot of people vouching for us. We had a lot of people reaching out and cheering us on.”

Since taking office, Williams has helped Morton learn the ropes of a daunting new job, which comes with a whopping $500 monthly salary.

“Matt’s been really helpful,” Morton said.

“I’m still getting my feet wet.

For his part, Williams insists Morton “has taught me as much as I’ve taught him, to tell you the truth.”

The BGA bond, even when stretched over more than a decade, helps make the learning curve a little easier for both men, they agreed.

“The values and culture of BGA have a lot of consistency,” Morton said. “It’s a whole lot more alike than different. There are consistent values that remain in place today.”

TYLER BERRY ’87 ’04 SAM MORAN SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, B. RILEY WEALTH MANAGEMENT

FINANCIAL ADVISOR, B. RILEY WEALTH MANAGEMENT

Tyler Berry and Sam Moran almost literally have BGA in their blood.

The two alumni come from long lines of BGA students and supporters dating to the school’s founding, and those deep-seated connections are paying off – for them and for the clients seeking their advice.

“When you’re dealing with someone from Battle Ground Academy, you know what you’re getting,” said Berry ’87. “You know what they’ve been taught, and you know what’s important to them.”

For Berry and Moran, those shared values have translated into a successful partnership

28

BATTLE G R OUND A C ADEMY

as financial advis0rs in Franklin, where they both were born and raised, albeit two decades apart.

Berry’s great-great-grandfather was a founding member of the Battle Ground Academy Corp. Board of Trustees in 1889, and his children are fifth-generation graduates.

After graduating from BGA, Berry knew he wanted to move into finance, and studied it at the University of Alabama. At nearly every step after graduating from college, Berry said, BGA connections helped him on his way – first at Volunteer Capital Corp., which owned the J. Alexander’s restaurant chain, where his boss was a fellow BGA graduate;

then at Robinson Humphrey, where the hiring manager sought a reference from then-BGA principal Lucas Boyd, who told them, “I don’t know what you guys do there, but he can do it.”

Eventually, Berry settled into a 15-year career at Morgan Stanley. But the experience he had after his father and grandfather died in short order, “leaving me dealing with a very complicated financial situation for which I had no knowledge or preparation,” provided a longer-term motivation to focus more on multigenerational planning – helping people set up estate plans and prepare for the future after they’re gone.

ALUMNI FEATURES

Looking to settle down, he returned to the Nashville area and earned his Master of Business Administration from Lipscomb University while working as an admissions counselor, using BGA mentors as references.

From there, he thought about the world of finance and investment.

“I can remember my grandfather following the stock market,” Moran said. “He’d flip back and forth between the Atlanta Braves and the

Moran’s father suggested his son reach out to Berry, who had served as his financial advisor. Moran had also coached Berry’s son in football several years earlier.

“I wasn’t even looking at working with him,” Moran recalled. “I wanted to get his opinion. He told me to go interview at some places and ask questions, and they gave me some good advice.”

Impressed with how seriously Moran was taking the project, Berry in 2017 decided he’d rather hire Moran himself. “That was a dream come true,” Moran said.

“It was a natural fit,” Berry said. “He’s passionate about helping people.”

In 2015, he and colleague Rachel Peña joined B. Riley Wealth Management, formerly Wunderlich Securities, Inc., to work with multigenerational clients on savings, stewardship and philanthropy.

“At the end of the day,” he said, “our goal is helping educate people so they can find that sense of purpose.”

Like Berry, Moran ’04 had a deep BGA legacy on which to draw, tracing relatives all the way back to the very first graduating class.

His grandfather, father, cousins and all three brothers attended BGA. “We knew when we were born where we were going to school,” he said. “I just thought it was the coolest place ever. There was never any doubt where I was going.”

Moran played basketball at BGA, and the competitiveness of sports translated well into the field of business, which he entered after graduating from the University of Tennessee. After a year teaching strength and conditioning plus coaching at BGA, a family friend whose children Moran was coaching offered him a job selling sporting goods.

While the three partners focus the bulk of their efforts on multigenerational planning, young professionals and couples, Moran also has a passion for helping families with special-needs members make sure their loved ones are cared for after they no longer can do so.

He also volunteers with several nonprofits serving Nashville-area residents with special needs and their families.

“We both have a big heart for helping people,” he said. Working with Berry satisfies that impulse because the job entails “making sure you’re caring for everybody.”

“If it weren’t for Tyler, I don’t know if I would have gotten into the industry because there’s no one else I trust like him,” Moran said.

“He’s been a mentor and a friend. He’s a great teacher, and I can’t thank him enough for that.”

Moran isn’t surprised that BGA has provided yet another important connection in his life.

“Some of my best friends to this day, my very best friends come from BGA,” he said. “It’s a family. It sounds corny, but it’s not just a school.”

For three years Moran traveled the country. “I was going all over the place,” he said. “I loved it.”

GROWING THE ALUMNI NETWORK

Although we don’t have any plans to change our name, the BGA Office of Alumni Relations is becoming more like the office of alumni connections.

For BGA students, those connections are a friendly introduction to the art of networking. Ultimately, networking is about relationships, and all of our alumni have something significant in common: attending BGA. In the past, Alumni Relations has focused on staying connected with

alumni through Homecoming and reunion celebrations and maintaining updated contact information. While having correct alumni contact information remains critically important, we are expanding our focus to include opportunities for alumni to network with each other, with BGA and with current students.

Before you can have a relationship, you need to make a connection. And we can help students and alumni do that.

FOR STUDENTS

Current students gain valuable skills from talking to and exchanging ideas with alumni. In 2018, the Office of Alumni Relations started the Future Alumni Club, which met every other week during the school year. Alumni from 1987 through 2010 met with students to discuss their BGA and college experiences and their career path since.

On March 1, the Office of Alumni Relations and Upper School administration hosted a Professional Exploration Day for the Class of 2019. Eighteen alumni joined current parents, parents of alumni, and community leaders to discuss their careers in several areas: Agriculture and Animal Science, Architecture, Construction and Engineering, Arts and Entertainment, Sports and Hospitality, Business and Finance, Education, Health and Medicine, Law, and Nonprofits.

Alumni Tyler Berry ’87, Kunu Kausahal ’02, and current parent Tatia Cummings talk to the Class of 2019 about careers in business and finance.

Regularly bringing alumni to campus to meet with students helps students see the connection between their high school education and life after BGA. Students can be inspired by the success of people who attended the same school, and alumni can interact with students and see how BGA continues to provide transformative experiences and opportunities.

FOR ALUMNI

Eric Schultenover ’92 talks to young alumni from the Classes of 2006-2017.

He reminded them that the best advice he received was from former BGA Upper School Head Dr. Lucas Boyd: “Be where you are supposed to be, and do what you are supposed to do.”

For BGA Alumni, the Office of Alumni Relations has increased networking opportunities by introducing BGA Connects – an exclusive, dynamic tool for linking up with other alumni. BGA Connects includes a job board where alumni can post opportunities at their workplace or in their field, the ability to identify ways you are willing to give back, and a directory to connect with alumni in your field, region or major.

In addition to BGA Connects, Alumni Relations hosts an annual networking event for young alumni. This event, usually in December, gives young alumni a chance to reconnect with each other not too long after graduation, and features an older alumni speaker to discuss careers and networking. We would like to grow this program for our alumni, and we and plan to have additional speakers and meeting opportunities in the future.

If you are a BGA grad and have not joined BGA Connects, please do so today at BGAConnects.com.

If you need a recommendation for another alumna or alumnus to reach out to, if you are interested in being a speaker for the Future Alumni Club, if you are interested in speaking at an assembly, or if you want to participate in the 2020 Professional Exploration Day, please contact Kristin Napier, Director of Alumni Relations, at kristin.napier@mybga.org or (615) 567-8472.

DYAN DAMRON

’98

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING & PLANNING MANAGER, VOLKERT, INC. Dyan Damron knows communication, networking and relationship building don’t always come easily to students looking to enter the engineering field.

That’s why the traffic engineer works so hard to mentor others and help them develop the skills they’ll need for success beyond a facility with math, science and a set of blueprints.

“I was blessed with a couple of really good mentors when I started,” said Damron, a traffic engineer and planning manager for the engineering consultants Volkert Inc., which works with the Tennessee Department of Transportation and Nashville-area local entities. “That’s important because the classroom is so much different than a career.”

Damron’s career has been nudged along by the support and advice of those ahead of her; now she pays it forward by talking to BGA students and recent graduates whenever she can.

“I feel like if you’re in math or science class, kids will sometimes feel there’s no connection between what they’re learning and the real world,” she said, noting that

BGA is such a small school, every time you see somebody out and about, you still feel like friends even if you weren’t in school together because it’s such a small community of people. engineering is very much a field where math and science are put to practical use every day. “I like to help kids understand what

they want to do and why they want to do it.”

Lessons often learned outside the classroom, such as the importance of good communication, often are just as important – if not more so – than GPA, Damron said, and the connections provided by a tight-knit school like BGA can prove invaluable.

“BGA is such a small school, every time you see somebody out and about, you still feel like friends even if you weren’t in school together because it’s such a small community of people,” she said. “It opens up so many more doors that you may not know.

Whether or not you know them personally, it makes that connection for you.”

ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM Four years in and with new director Hallie Heiter at the helm, BGA’s Entrepreneurial Leadership Program is creating unprecedented opportunities for our Upper School students to work alongside local entrepreneurs as they tackle real-world business issues.

During the 2018-19 academic year, our senior Capstone students worked with:

• Nashville fashion house ABLE • Local meal delivery service Gigamunch • Edge computing platform

CrowdCrunch (co-founded by Grayson Adkins ’06)

• On-site private chef experience venture Placemat

• Data streaming and visualization

platform Initial State (founded by Jamie Bailey, father of Gracen Bailey ’24)

Do you want to be a catalyst for the next generation of successful BGA alumni?

Here’s how you can help:

PROPOSE A PROJECT

Each year, the EL program partners with four to six startups or established businesses who are branching out from their typical product or service lines. There is no cost to participate. Businesses involved in the ’18-’19 school year uniformly reported a true quid-pro-quo relationship and praised the dedicated efforts of BGA’s EL students. Send your partnership ideas our way for the ’19-’20 school year as these spots fill up quickly!

Students were responsible for addressing a specific set of critical questions for each business, leaning on the knowledge they gained during their first three years of coursework within BGA’s Entrepreneurial Leadership Program to guide their research, hypotheses and final boardroom presentations.

SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Teach a class. Be part of a question-and-answer panel. Mentor a student group.

Whether you can commit an hour one time, or six hours throughout the semester, we value your experience and welcome the opportunity to learn from you.

SERVE AS AN OFFICIAL JUDGE

Each project requires three rounds of presentations, and we invite you to sit in on a practice round or the final presentation to offer students your praise and constructive criticism.

GIVE YOUR FELLOW WILDCATS MORE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE

Short-term summer internship opportunities give our students time to explore potential careers and build their high school resume.

of Country Music Brittany Adkins Schaffer ’03, Head of Artist and Label Marketing at Spotify Nashville, is broadening country music’s global reach through the streaming giant’s platform.

n the jargon of her chosen career, you might label Brittany Adkins Schaffer No. 1 – with a bullet.

From performing on the General Jackson showboat as a 6-year-old and in every possible musical at BGA to advising musicians as a senior attorney to now running artist and label marketing in Nashville for the streaming-music giant Spotify, Schaffer has never strayed far from her passion of music.

“Brittany was just one of the kids you always knew was going to be successful,” said Tim Palgliara, whose children attended BGA with her. “She’s a superstar.

She’s going places.”

In December, she was named one of six Billboard Women in Music for 2018,

who the magazine billed as “emerging executives whose achievements and innovation are shaping music’s future.”

“Music brings a lot of joy to people’s lives, and I think the more we experience it, the better off everyone is,” she said. “I’m happier than I’ve ever been, personally and professionally.”

It all started when Schaffer and her parents were moving across the country throughout much of her childhood. Young Brittany would participate in pageants, then when she was 6, she saw some of the older girls singing in the talent part of the show.

She told her mother she wanted to sing like them.

“You don’t have a song,” Karen Adkins told her daughter.

“That’s OK,” Brittany replied. “I’ll make one up.”

Schaffer has been drumming her own beat ever since.

While the family settled in Murfreesboro, Brittany landed a role in the General Jackson Christmas show for two years, celebrating her 7th and 8th birthdays there and auditioning at the Grand Ole Opry.

“That aspect probably contributed significantly to always having that sense of wanting to be around music,” Schaffer said.

By the end of eighth grade, the family had lived in Tennessee, California, Virginia and Georgia; Brittany had attended three elementary schools and three middle schools. Her parents promised they could stay put for high school, and they moved back to the Nashville area.

Two weeks before high school, the Adkinses took a whirlwind tour of local private schools and selected BGA. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say my main reason for choosing BGA was that they didn’t have uniforms

at the time,” she laughed.

Uniforms eventually came to campus, but by then Brittany was involved in show choir, musicals, speech and debate, dance, the artists guild, and student council.

“BGA was a great place for me,” she said. “I had always enjoyed school, but I’d never really been challenged before I got to BGA.” Schaffer had always imagined herself as a music artist, but after throwing herself into music in high school, “I really just wanted to be a normal college student for four years.” She attended Vanderbilt and majored in communication studies; she interned for then-U.S. Sen. Bill Frist and discovered she enjoyed public policy and political science.

“But there was something about music I really loved,” she said. “It wasn’t something I let go of, but it was something I put on pause a little bit.”

Given her interest in both music and public policy, a BGA parent connected Schaffer to Connie Bradley, senior vice president of ASCAP, the performance-rights organization that manages and protects musical copyrights. That led to college internships at Sony Nashville and ASCAP.

ALUMNI FEATURES

Her experience there helped her realize that success for musicians rarely followed an orderly path – and often involved numerous setbacks.

“I realized I was much too Type A to be an artist,” she said. “I would not be happy if I was constantly frustrated.”

Instead, she decided to go into music law, earning her law degree from Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law in 2010.

With Bradley’s formidable list of contacts, Schaffer began sending resumes to Nashville music attorneys, eventually landing a job with Loeb & Loeb’s Nashville office.

On a practical level, that means planning advertising campaigns, marketing events, special fan outreach and other strategies when artists have new music to promote.

Within the Spotify app, that includes filming videos that play at the top of the Hot Country Playlist and during selected songs.

Schaffer recently oversaw the strategy and rollout of the newly enhanced Hot Country playlist and accompanying U.S. marketing campaign – which included a four-day unveiling at CMA Music Fest and plowing the faces of big country stars and the Hot Country logo into crop

“I came into a firestorm of work,” she recalled. Her boss had been diagnosed with cancer two weeks before she started.

“I just got thrown into it,” logging 3,000 hours of work in her first year.

Eventually rising to senior counsel with the firm, Schaffer’s job included work with both talent – negotiating record deals, agreements between band members and the like – and corporations – strategy, sponsorship, licensing and policy work.

In January 2018, she made the move without leaving the city.

In her new job, Schaffer oversees Spotify’s relationships with Nashville artists and labels, and how the company promotes their music.

Streaming now produces more revenue for record labels than any other music distribution medium. Since 2009, musicindustry revenues have returned to preinternet levels, even as the money generated from physical purchases such as CDs sets a new all-time low each year.

“We are really here for everyone,” she said. “We want to be partners. … I think people are excited that there are a lot of ways of getting your music heard. Our sole focus is music.”

“It really gave me a 360-degree picture of the music industry,” she said. “I knew how everything came together in that ecosystem.”

Out of the blue one morning, Schaffer received an email from Spotify, the Swedish company that has become one of the world’s largest – and arguably the best known – providers of streaming music.

“It’s hard to know who was mentoring whom because she’s so talented,” Pagliara said. “Brittany is at the very top of her game at a changing of the guard in the music industry.”

And Spotify, with more than 180 million total users and 80 million paid subscribers, is leading that push, Schaffer said.

“It showed me I was capable of a lot more than I thought I was,” Schaffer said. “It set me up well for the next six years.”

After more than seven years as a top Nashville music attorney, Schaffer yearned to get closer to bringing the music itself to life, not just advising others on how to do it.

Schaffer had approached Pagliara – who is CEO of the wealth management firm CapWealth, which serves some of the same musicians Schaffer had advised as an attorney – and the pair had begun exploring a business partnership, he said.

circles in the weeks immediately following the launch of the playlist’s video content.

Creating the crop circles then became the subject of TV advertising that aired across the country.

“That’s what my day looks like,” Schaffer said. “Sometimes it’s looking at crop circles.”

The Hot Country playlist now has more than 5.2 million followers.

With few exceptions, music has also been Schaffer’s sole focus for more than 30 years – ever since she was captivated by pageant talent shows as a first-grader.

“I’m a big believer in hard work,” she said.

“I was always a hard worker, but BGA really taught me how to focus and how to find the answers when I didn’t have the answers. That’s something that really stuck with me throughout my time in school and afterward.”

Schaffer’s gain – a better work-life balance, fulfilling her goal of working more closely to bring an artist’s music to the ears of his or her fans – in moving to Spotify was Tim Pagliara’s loss.

Mr. Bragg was a leader at BGA for 40 years.

In 1950, he joined the faculty as an English, Spanish and history teacher. He added assistant headmaster to his duties in 1959.

In 1969, he was named headmaster of BGA and he led the Academy for 21 years until his retirement in 1990. In 1988, the Tennessee Association of Independent Schools recognized Mr. Bragg for his "Outstanding Contribution to Education," and in 1989, the Franklin Lions Club named Mr. Bragg “Educator of the Year.” A Bronze Star veteran of World War II, Mr. Bragg was also honored in 2001 with the Dr. Joe T. Nunley Award, which is presented to a distinguished veteran from Middle Tennessee. ”It is with deep sadness that I reflect on the passing of Mr. Bragg,” said Head of School Will Kesler. “While he had told me regularly that he was ready and remarked to another visitor that he was quite content in his reverie during his final months of life, I mourn his loss for our sake. His positive spirit, quick wit, and infectious smile never left him, and he was always much more of an encouragement to those who went to see him than we were to him.”

Under his distinguished leadership, the Academy ended its boarding program, welcomed girls back into the classroom after 50 years, and established the Middle School for seventh and eighth grades. Mr. Bragg’s careful guidance and sharp foresight shaped BGA into a modern, flourishing co-educational institution. Some of BGA’s most successful programs, including drama, speech, and college counseling, were added to the school during Mr. Bragg’s tenure. ”He lived an incredible life – war hero, beloved English teacher, visionary headmaster – and his legacy at BGA will never be forgotten,” Kesler said. “We hope that his family will appreciate how thankful we are that they shared him with the Academy for so many years, and that our recognition of his incredible life and work will be an encouragement to them. He is truly one of the most important figures in the history of Battle Ground Academy.”

In his letter to the BGA Board of Trustees announcing his retirement, Mr. Bragg wrote, “It goes without saying that I shall always love this grand old school and will continue to support and help her in any and every way that I can.”

Final Notes

IT WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR BGA CO ME V IS I T TH E ACAD E MY!

BGA’s history is unique. There are few, if any, independent schools that have had as many iterations as your Academy – three different campuses, co-ed day school, all-boys boarding school, co-ed day school again, acquisition of a Lower School, and today’s co-ed K-12 school. Bricks and mortar, hairstyles, clothing, and technology have changed, but the spirit and values of BGA remain and are the unifying thread that joins all alumni together, regardless of when you attended.

Beloved BGA traditions, such as the Honor Code, Greer and Plato societies, and the BGA Tug continue today. New traditions have been added – Grandparents Day, Jamboree, Grit Day – but the core of BGA remains: character, scholarship, excellence, and, most importantly, community. Your membership in the BGA alumni community has no expiration date, and my No. 1 priority is to keep you connected with the school and with each other. There are many tools available to you:

GREER or PLATO?

2018-19 HONOR ROLL OF DONORS

That question is one of the first with which BGA alumni greet each other.

The friendly rivalry between the two societies is exemplified by the annual BGA Tug, but the competition no longer ends at graduation.

In 2017, we added the BGA Fund Plato vs. Greer Challenge to the decades-old contest. Now alumni can “tug” for their society by giving to the BGA Fund. And – to no one’s surprise - our first two years have seen close competition with revenge being the deciding factor in Year Two. In 2018, the Greers won the Challenge by only four gifts. The Platos had gotten out to an early lead, but the Greers kept pulling (giving really!) and in the end were the victorious society. In 2018-19, encouraged by a surge in giving by all alumni to the BGA Fund, the Platos won by a whopping 29 gifts. The good news is EVERYONE wins in this Plato vs. Greer competition.

BGA will recognize the annual winner of the Plato vs. Greer Challenge during Homecoming Weekend.

HONOR ROLL of DONORS

Dear alumni, parents, and friends of Battle Ground Academy, On behalf of the Board of Trustees, thank you for the tremendous generosity you continue to show BGA. The trustees, the administration, and I are so very grateful for the many ways in which the BGA community supports our ability to teach Character, Scholarship, and Excellence.

In particular, I want to thank the Parent Association Executive Board and the Alumni Board for their stewardship of the BGA Fund this past year. Thanks to their hard work and commitment, participation by both current parents and alumni saw incredible increases. Asking for money isn’t easy, but when it’s for a cause and an institution that are so important to each one of us, it’s a very rewarding endeavor. As we continue to remind each other about the importance of giving to and supporting BGA, I hope each member of the BGA community will consider the impact and importance of a BGA education.

As the proud parent of two graduates, I continue to see the profound impact a BGA education has had on them and their classmates.

When I talk with other parents of alumni, they speak of the preparedness and the relationships developed at BGA. Alumni of all ages share stories of inspirational teachers, the readiness they felt in college, and the benefits of the BGA network when embarking on a job search. Our support of BGA today ensures that the outstanding qualities that drew us to the school initially remain and progress so that more students will benefit and the power of a BGA diploma continues to be enhanced.

Again, thank you for your support of BGA and for all that you do to provide our students and teachers with the resources necessary to thrive.

Sincerely, KURT J. WINSTEAD

Chairman, Board of Trustees

The Charles C. Fowler Jr. ’62 SCHOLARSHIP FUND

In lasting remembrance of Charlie Fowler ’62, his family has created the Charles C. Fowler Jr. ’62 Scholarship Fund with a gift to BGA’s endowment. The Fowler Scholarship Fund will provide need-based financial aid to an Upper School student who is in good academic standing and a member of the football team.

Charlie was born in Nashville in 1944. A boarding student at BGA, he was a member of the football, wrestling, and track & field teams. He was a proud member of the 1960 state championship football team. He played college football at Auburn University and the University of Houston, and later played for the NFL’s Miami Dolphins in 1967 and 1968. Following his playing career, Charlie was co-owner of Fowler Lumber Company in Gallatin. Charlie was inducted into BGA’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2006. The Fowler family created this scholarship to honor Charlie, Coach Ralph Brown ’49 and the 1960 state championship team.

BGA has given some form of financial support to deserving students since its earliest years and remains committed to its financial assistance program. Awards are made only to students who have fully qualified for admission to the school and have completed the full admission or re-enrollment process and the required financial aid documents through the National Association of Independent School’s School and Student Services.
