APA Orchestra Schedule and Updates
I hope everyone did well on their finals and I hope you enjoy your Monday off! You deserve it!
We're back to regularly scheduled classes this week with some exciting stuff just around the corner!
OMG Bylaws Update!
Only one more week to go over our Bylaw revisions. If you have anything you'd like to discuss, please be prepared to do so at our next OMG Meeting.
Our Oiler Music Guild Bylaws (nonprofit rules/guidelines) have gone through a bit of an upgrade and revision. We have corrected some info regarding program directors and added info regarding video meetings.
We will be discussing and voting on the change at the February 6th meeting.

OMG Needs You!
How can you help?
OMG Annual Banquet Planning - help plan our Awards Banquet!
We are currently trying to come up with catering options for the Banquet,
let us know if you know of a good catering company/restaurant that would be reasonably priced to feed about 200 people.
OMG 25/26 Board Nominating Committee - help find volunteers for next year's OMG Board!
FINAL WHITE UNIFORM WASHING!
Tuesday, January 28th
We we're unable to get enough sign ups for Saturday, so this has been rescheduled for Tuesday. Please HELP!!!!!
We have our new uniforms, so the LAST TIME the Marching Band will wear the white uniforms is for Picture Day on 2/3. This means all of the white uniforms need to be washed before then. Even our extra uniforms will be washed to get ready to sell them! So, this time we'll have teams of 2 or 3 people take 20-30 uniforms to laundromats for washing. This will be much quicker and more efficient. Cleaning instructions will be included.

Additional Notes for Parents and Students-
- This schedule will remain in place for the entire spring semester, except in specific cases when we have a modified rehearsal or bell schedule. This has been adjusted both to maximize rehearsal time with our quickly-approaching festival performance on March 6th for the Festival Orchestra, as well as to continue to shift towards a standard schedule with the Block schedule course length.
- In addition, Pit Orchestra rehearsals will begin this week! Pit orchestra will primarily rehearse on Friday evenings (after Drumline) and on several Saturdays that will be sent out this week with the orchestra selections. We received the music in the mail, and it’s looking like it will be an exciting show!
