Wind Ensemble/Drumline/Jazz Band Schedule & Updates
We have Monday off this week in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr Day. A great man who propelled the Civil Rights Movement forward and forever left his mark on the world. It is a great time to think about the privileges you have and consider helping those who are less privileged or in need of help.
"The time is always right
to do what is right"
-MLK Jr
OMG Bylaws Update!
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.
Please review the bylaws and make note of any questions or comments you have. We will be discussing and voting on the change at the February 6th meeting.

FINAL WHITE UNIFORM WASHING!
Saturday, January 25th
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.
