=Welcome to the Overhills High Instrumental Department Page!=

Parents and Students,

If you are a new parent and/or band or orchestra student, welcome to our family. To all the returning students and parents, welcome back. I am expecting a great year in all aspects of the instrumental department here at Overhills, and with your cooperation and help, this can be one of the best years ever.

The Marching Band is in full effect for this year! Our show, "Digital Symphony", is well into production and will take many long hours to complete and perfect. Our schedule for practices is exactly the same this year,(see the schedule on the Band Page) and we are going to 5 competitions. It's going to be a busy, but rewarding season. As always, we need parent volunteers and equipment helpers for the football games and competitions. You may contact me at the info below, or contact our Booster President, Tanya Johnson for more details.

Please parents, when your child gets his/her schedule, make sure they are properly scheduled for band. I cannot stress enough the importance of year-long enrollment. It is the only way this program will continue to grow. See me with any questions.

On the orchestra side of things, membership is again up, and so will the level of difficulty of music and the number of things we will do during the year. This is the first year I hope to have auditionees for District Level Orchestra as well as some Solo and Ensemble work.

Please check this page often for schedules, announcements, student-friendly links, etc. throughout the year. I am going to encourage the students to check it at least once a week. Over the course of the semester, vital information will be posted on this site regarding District Audition Solos, All County Auditions, Concerts, and of course, a constantly updated schedule of all our upcoming activities.

Thank you in advance for your continued support. Without all of you, music would not be alive in the schools!
