Marching Band Schedule & Updates
Happy Veteran's Day
And thank you so much to our Veterans for your service to our country and our community.
Thank you to those of you who attended our OMG Meeting this past Wednesday. Our next one will be Thursday, December 6th!
Make sure it's on your calendar now!
This past week, our Marching Band and Color Guard helped support the HBHS Football team at their first CIF Playoff Game (HBHS won!). Then, Saturday Marching Band and Color Guard attended their final regular season competition at San Clemente High School, receiving a score of 83.1 and moving on to the semi-finals next weekend!
This week, a handful of our Orchestra strings players will be playing in the Fall Acting Mainstage Show, Tartuffe. The show opens Thursday and runs through the weekend. Get your tickets to see it and support our strings players and enjoy APA’s Acting, Costume Design, and Technical Theatre students in their thought-provoking production of TARTUFFE where prosperous patriarch Orgon is plagued by insecurities, and the growing independence of his family isn’t helping. The strict sanctimonious scoundrel named Tartuffe has moved into the household to lay down the law; at least that’s how he represents his actions.
The Marching Band and Color Guard will be at CSBC Semi-finals this Saturday at Irvine High School. Come help us out as Chaperones, Equipment Truck Drivers, or donate waters and snacks to help the kids stay hydrated and nourished throughout the long competition day!
OMG's busy season is nearing it's end!
It's time for our final Fall push through the Holiday season!!
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!
