Broncho Orchestra August 3rd, 2026

Greetings all! We’re rapidly approaching the 2026/2027 school year, and I’m excited to see everyone again as we approach this concert cycle!

The Leadership Team and I have already been working towards planning the school year, and we have a LOT planned! In addition to our regular concerts, we’re hoping to revive Eclipse this year, and we’re tentatively looking at taking a small spring trip! (More information on that in the coming weeks!)

Instruments

I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer and feels rested and relaxed as we begin this fall semester. For those who have instruments at home, plan on bringing them on Thursday, August 13th. The first two days of school will just be housekeeping for the freshmen, and then everyone, respectively.

Parent Meeting

Additionally, please note we have our Annual Parent Meeting on Tuesday, August 18th in the OHS PAC. This is typically the only all hands on deck parent meeting we have throughout the school year, so it would be great to have everyone present, one night only!

Calendar

The Events & Calendar pages have been updated, both on the website and in Cut Time, with all of the major dates that have been locked in for the year so far. Please plan ahead and get those concert and dress rehearsal dates on your schedule now!

Schedules

I unfortunately don’t have access to schedules yet, but just know that if you get yours and there is a problem, don’t panic! Reach out to me and we’ll get it fixed!

Again, I’m excited to see everyone and get the ball rolling on this year! I can’t wait to make some GREAT music together! Go Bronchos!
