The 7th, 8th and High School Bands will present our annual Pre-Festival Concert on Monday February 13th at 7:00pm.  This concert will be held in the OVHS Auditorium.  Band members will need to be in the High School Band Room by 6:00pm.

As of Thursday September 29th, each 6th grader has selected an instrument and should be bringing home information on how to obtain that instrument.  If you have any questions, please call or email Mr. Merchant.   We are going to begin using instruments on Wednesday October 5th.

If you have a child in the OV band program you are automatically part of our band parents organization.  To keep up with what is going on we have brief meetings each month on the second Tuesday.  We meet from 7-8pm (never longer) in the High School band room.   Please plan on attending to help make band an awesome experience for you student.
