Marching Band Schedule & Updates
APA's Fall Musical, Les Miserables opens this Friday! This week is Tech week/Hell week, so our Pit Orchestra and everyone involved in the show will have a very busy week!
Or signed up to volunteer
This coming weekend, OMG needs lots of volunteers in many different areas!
We have a Football Game this Friday and it's our Middle School Night, when the local Middle School bands join our Marching Band to help play pep tunes during the first half of the game. After half time, we feed the Middle Schoolers to show our appreciation for them!
We need Football Concessions Volunteers, help with Uniforms and people to help with the Middle Schoolers.
Saturday is our first Marching Band Competition and there is a Les Mis Performance! Many of our Pit Orchestra performers are also in Marching Band. They need YOUR help to get from Costa Mesa High School back to HBHS in time for Les Mis! Our students who can drive will not be allowed to drive themselves! Parents, please sign up to drive! It's a quick volunteer position and you'll be helping to support multiple programs at once!
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!

We will have snacks for them throughout the day. Come cheer us on at Costa Mesa HS! You can buy tickets there at the event, and spectators should park at OCC.
If your student is also in Les Mis, they will be transported back to HBHS immediately after they perform at 5:00pm and will make it back in time for Les Mis call-time.
