OMG Meeting this Wednesday, 11/6 at 7:00pm in M1 or on Zoom! 

Join us to hear about what's happening in our programs and be entered into our Raffle at our June OMG Banquet!


The band, color guard, cheer and dance teams all had an awesome performance of Thriller at our Halloween football game! And a huge congratulations to our Seniors who celebrated their Senior Night and their final regular season football game! And even though the rain sifted how Saturday's competition looked, Marching Band and Color Guard received third place in their division! Color Guard and Auxiliary received second place! Sunday, the Marching Band and Color Guard led the ISA World Para Olympic Surf Parade and all of the athletes were so happy and grateful for our presence and our performance!


This week, the Marching Band and Color Guard will be at the CIF Playoff Football game to support and play for our HBHS football team! We will need some donations and volunteers for visitor concessions, uniform help, and bleacher liners. Please sign up and help us support the football team and their awesome achievements!

Saturday, we have a Marching band Competition at San Clemente High School that we still need some volunteers for. Sign up today! This will be our final regular competition. Come cheer on the band and guard to help them make it into semi-finals!

"many hands make light work"

Additional Notes for Parents/Students-

 

- This week starts our preparations of our holiday season Mainstage performances with Sounds of the Season! Between the ensembles, we have about 14 pieces to prepare over the next month and a half, including collaborations with just about every APA discipline.

- Students will have their recital grades updated this week, and any students who need to complete the alternate performance assignment will get the assignment details on Tuesday. We will be scheduling a “make-up” recital for several students, which is planned to be both recorded and available for friends and family to attend!

- Please check your calendars now about the tech rehearsals December 9-12th and our concert dates, as these are mandatory!

- Additionally, we have the OMG and HBHS-Hosted California State Band Championships coming up on the Saturday before Fall break, which is the largest fundraiser for our collective music program of the year. Specific volunteer roles will be assigned for students, but we are actively searching for any parent/family volunteers who can help with the event. This one day event raises the program between $32-$38,000, and directly funds significant opportunities for all of our students!
