Marching Band Schedule & Updates
We've made it through another busy weekend! Thank you to our competition chaperones, equipment truck drivers, and Eiffel Tower helpers; and those who have been feeding the pit orchestra and helping out at the show! You all make our programs special for our kids and enhance their experience more than you realize. Thank you for your constant love and support for our OMG community.
The HBHS Homecoming Football Game against
Crean Lutheran HS is this Friday, 10/25.
Wear your cowboy hats and boots and come help with
visitor concessions, uniforms, bleacher covers,
or donate goods to be sold.
Our Orchestra is finishing up their preparations for their
Fall Orchestra Recital in the Black Box
Wednesday and Thursday, October 23rd and 24th.
Winds and Percussion students will perform on October 23rd,
Strings and Piano students will perform on October 24th.
See one show and get APA hours by helping at the other.
This is also a great opportunity for Band and Color Guard families to get some volunteer time in and allow our Orchestra families to enjoy the Recital!
Final day to see Les Miserables! Our Pit Orchestra has been in top form this weekend! Congratulations to all for making it through this one!! And thank you to Peter for pushing our kids to do amazing things!
It certainly is OMG's busy season!
But our community is here to support you
in any way you need!
And don't forget,
"many hands make light work"
and the more we can help and support each other,
the better our program will be
and the easier it will be for all of us!

The school year just started, but we're already thinking about next year's OMG Board! Being on the board is a great opportunity to get involved and help all these talented students. If you know someone who would be a good fit, or if you want to be more involved in nominations, please reach out to our Parliamentarian, Linda Farrow.
Revisions of the OMG Bylaws are in the works. The Executive Board will be making necessary changes to include new Directors and to make sections more clear and concise. The revised Bylaws will be sent to ALL members and voted on at one of our Guild meetings.
