Weekly Rehearsal Schedule
Our normal Fall Schedule looks like this below but times and days are still to be determined. We try to rehearse 2-3 times per week and give students Tuesdays and Thursdays “off” so that they can keep up on academics and do other activities.
Mondays 5pm-8pm. Parent pick up time will be at approximately 8:20pm.
Tuesdays. No after school rehearsals
Wednesdays 2pm-6pm. Sectionals from 2pm-3pm. Full group rehearsal on the field from 3pm-6pm. Students should bring a snack to eat during breaktime as well as water and rehearsl clothing.
*The rehearsal times will vary based on field availability so please check the main calendar (HERE) for changes.
Thursdays. No after school rehearsals
Fridays TBA. Possible Friday Rehearsals to be announced
Parent/Student Orientation Meeting
There will be an orientation meeting on Wednesday April 30th fro 6:30pm-7:45pm. All students and a parent are required to attend. During this orientation Mr. Moreno will discuss the program including rehearsal schedules for the summer and fall, competitions, our fall overnight trip, spirit packs, what classes to take, and much more.
Auditions
Auditions for the marching band will be on Monday May 5 from 4:30pm-7:00pm and May 6 from 4:30pm-7:00pm. Audition will be held in the OHHS Bandroom and Performing Arts Center (PAC). The auditions will be for the band, drumline, and color guard. Students are asked to dress comfortable in clothes they can move around in (no jeans). They are also asked to wear athletic shoes.
Spirit Pack
There is a spirit pack for the marching band program that will be used to off set the cost of the program not covered by the school. The spirit pack pays for show registration fees, travel costs, hotel costs on our overnight stay, music, drill, camps, extra instruction, flag silks, props, instrument repair, equipment purchase, and much more.
Knott’s Berry Farm
Each year Cedar Middle School band students are invited to perform with the Oak Hills Marching Band. This is a great end of the year activity and it also gives the middle school students an opportunity to see what high school band is like. This year we will have one full group rehearsal.
The rehearsal is on Wednesday April 30th fro 4:00pm-6:30pm
The Knott’s Performance is on Saturday May 3rd. We will be performing on the Wagon Camp Stage from 1:30pm-2:00pm.
If you would like your student to attend you can purchase the ticket at the OHHS Band “Store” on this website. Parents and chaperones may also purchase tickets there.
