For those who have read the previous posts and for those who haven't I wanted to update you on our last set of events.
On Friday November 9th our band played for the Veterans who attended the OLM Veterans Day Celebration. Good job everyone.
On Saturday November 10th our band marched in the Locals Only at Golden Valley High School. They competed against other schools such as Tenaya, Weaver, Hoover, Rivera, and many others. We took home 4 awards - 1 for Drum Major, 1 for Marching Band, and 2 for Jazz.
The schools we competed with had anywhere from 30 or 40 member on up to 100 members and we had 18 competing. Way to go OLM - we would have taken home 1 for color guard, however we only had two members at the time and in order to place you have to have a minimum of 5 members.
On Sunday we marched in the Veterans Day Parade and we took home a plaque. Again Great Job OLM.
On Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday - Nov. 13, 14 & 15 - tryouts for winter guard were held. We are pleased to announce we have 3 more members. This puts us in the running for future awards. Welcome aboard ladies. We would love to have some gents join. Many color guard teams have males too.
We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your break.
Our next event is the Christmas Day Parade. We will be wearing our uniforms in the attempt to look like toy soldiers. Please try to attend as the more members we have performing the better we sound and look.
REMINDER - we have a Band Booster meeting on Wednesday, November 28th at 6:30 pm in the band room. We have much to discuss and prepare for. At least one adult representative for every
marching band student is requested. Remember, this meeting counts toward
volunteer hours.
