Thank you so much to all of you who helped out with WGASC this weekend! It was an exhausting day, but we made it through. We are so grateful to all of you!
All of our programs have events coming up and we always need volunteers! Every moment of time, every item, and every dollar donated, makes our programs better!

At our May 1st OMG Meeting we will be voting in our nominees for the 2024-2025 OMG Board. Do you like to plan events? We are still looking for Tournament Chairpersons for Band Champs in the Fall and Color Guard Tournaments in the Spring. If you are interested in helping next school year, please contact Heather Lopez, our current Parliamentarian, at hblopez6@gmail.com if you would like to get involved.
