Rhapsody in Blues Retreat 2012

I would like to get everyone together before the start of the school year to begin work on the upcoming year’s music, and to get a little ahead as far as material.  I would like to meet with everyone on Wednesday, August 22nd from 9:00 to 2:00 in the high school choir room (BTW – AC is ON and working!!!!).  Lunch will be provided.  We will be working on new music, as well as getting the new members up to speed on some of the more favorite repertoire from past years (per your list).  I would like everyone in attendance.  Please let me know if you have an issue.  From what I have heard, Tennis has a match that day, and won’t be practicing in the morning, and Football does not start until 3:00, so schedules should be open.  If you are in another conflicting activity, let me know (I asked for schedules a while back…).

Looking ahead, I am thinking theme for Night of A cappella.  “8 Track Flashback” comes to mind.  Thinking we can focus on Bohemian Rhapsody, Rosanna, maybe throw in a little Turn the Beat Around (Women) and Jessie’s Girl (Men), and if I can get Don’t Stop Believin’ together as an arrangement, I thought that might work.  We’ll talk more at the rehearsal.  Congratulations again on your membership in the group, and I look forward to seeing you on the 22nd!

OCMA GENERAL MEETING - MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 6:00 PM

      The Oil City Music Department is a very active group, and the directors and music teachers are extremely dedicated to their respective programs.  However, they are in need of parent support, in the form of volunteers, organizational talents, and as a vocal influence on policymakers and administrators, to “spread the word,” if you will, about the positive things going on in our music department, which not only benefit your children, but the community as a whole.      Being a citizen in the Oil City Area School District, and/or having a student in the band, choir, or musicals allows you to be a member of our organization.  You can be as active as you desire, with our general meeting twice a year, and most committees meeting rarely at the discretion of the board and directors.        The Oil City Music Association will hold a parents' meeting   on this Monday, September 16th at 6:00 pm   in the high school choir ro...
