2010-2011 Video Yearbooks complete!
The DVDs of the 2010-2011 Band & Color Guard Video Yearbook are now complete and at the high school! Seniors should stop by the band room to pick up their copy sometime this week. Everybody else should get their copy during class.
This year the discs are in special sleeves which allow the back to be pealed off and stuck to someplace safe and special. (Like maybe in your yearbook?) They are clear after being stuck down just in case you don't have any unsigned space - you'll be able to read through it.

Barnes and Noble Fundraiser this Saturday!

When: This Saturday, May 14th from open to close (9 a.m. to 11 p.m.)
Where: Barnes and Noble at the El Camino North Shopping Center, 2615 Vista Way in Oceanside
All a supporter of the OHS Instrumental Music program has to do is mention at the checkstand that you want to help the Oceanside High School Band! But that's not all--Barnes and Noble will also give a percentage to customers ordering online for 5 days afterwards--just note that the order is for the Oceanside High School Band Boosters.
Volunteers are needed to let customers know how they too can help the Oceanside High School Instrumental Program. Stephanie King has volunteered for the story hour at 11:00-11:45. You know what a "go-getter" Stephanie is--let's give her some support and give an hour at Barnes and Noble also. What hour or hours would you like to volunteer? Who knows--maybe you'll even find the book you've been dying to read!
Remember, all you have to do is mention at the checkstand that you are supporting the Oceanside High School Band or order online for 5 days afterward noting that the order is for the Oceanside High School Band Boosters.
More importantly remember that reading is a good thing--whether you do it the old-fashioned way with books or with the new-fashioned way with the Nook. So support the OHS Instrumental Program and let your family and friends know that they can too!
