Oil City Middle and High School Choirs

Congratulations and Thank You to all of the members of the High School Band and Choirs for an excellent holiday concert this evening.  It was definitely "one for the books," and you did yourselves and the audience proud.   Video to come on Monday! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

We are in need of a couple students and parents to help collect canned goods at Saturday night's Holiday Concert.  We would need people to report at 6:45 to help box the canned goods and move them to the middle school for transport, as well as hand out programs.  Email Mr. Luxbacher at sluxbacher@mail.ocasd.org if you are willing and able.

Congratulations to all of the Middle School Bands and Choirs for a wonderful holiday concert this evening.  You all have much to be proud of!  Thank you for all of your hard work, and welcome to the sixth grade chorus!

Unfortunately, due to some last minute scheduling conflicts for the camera team, we will NOT be able to live stream tonight's Middle School Holiday Concert.  We are grateful, however, that an archive copy of tonight's concert will be made available on the Oiler News webpage as soon as we are able.  Thank you for your understanding.

Both the middle school and high school holiday concerts will be live-streamed this year.  You can access these live broadcasts at:   www.youtube.com/oilernews Concerts start Wednesday and Saturday at 7:30 pm.  Thanks to Mr. McLoughlin and the Media Technology classes for covering these holiday events!

We are in need of at least 2 Seniors to be narrators for the annual Holiday Concert next Saturday.  Email Mr. Luxbacher if you are interested in serving.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum - Cast List      First of all, THANK YOU for your interest and preparation for the audition process. It seems as the years go on, the quality of auditions has increased exponentially, and the process to cast the show has become increasingly harder. When so many people audition for a show, and at the level you all did, it is impossible to cast each person in the role he or she wants. However, remember that every part is a “lead” part. It is how you approach your role that makes or breaks the show. The smallest part can be the one that earns you your “fifteen minutes of fame…” IF YOU AUDITIONED FOR THE SHOW, AND YOUR NAME DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE CAST LIST SOMEWHERE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!       We will start rehearsals on Monday afternoon, January 5th, from 3:15 to 5:30 p.m. Will read through the scripts and listen to as much of the show music as possible.

CONGRATULATIONS! Congratulations and thank you to the Rhapsody in Blues on 3 great performances last week at UPMC's Light Up Night, Golden Living Center, and the Christmas Past Charity Bazaar.  All were well received, and performances went very well!
