OMG Bylaws Update!
If you have anything you'd like to discuss,
please be prepared to do so at this week's 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.

Additional Notes for Parents and Students-
- One week down in the Spring, and APA courses are back in full swing! We have a busy February ahead with the preparation of the pit orchestra, festival orchestra, and other programs all moving towards performances in March and April before spring break.
- We will have a table at Future Oiler Night on February 4th at 5:30, and any interested future students in the orchestra program can stop by. This is one of our last-push recruiting opportunities before auditions begin for new students in March, and we’re looking to bring in as many interested students as possible.
- Pit Orchestra and Festival orchestra had fantastic first rehearsals, and have a lot of work ahead of us. The finalized rehearsal schedule for Pit Orchestra will be sent out to parents and families of selected students this week, but anticipate the Friday evening slot will be our “regular” rehearsal time. Students will always be released right on time, as we know it’s a late evening.
