Each event needs 1 vol-unteer to pick up donuts and 2 volunteers for High School concerts and 4 volunteers for Middle School concerts (split into 2 shifts).
There must be someone with the donuts during the concerts. So if you are band parent, please consider volunteering to sell donuts at the choir concerts. And if you are a choir parent, please consider volunteering to sell donuts at the band concerts. How to Sign up to Volunteer: OFMA is utilizing Sign Up Genius as an easy way for volunteers to sign up. The sign up links are on OFMA’S webpage.

Instrumental Lessons Private lessons will be offered this year on flute, clarinet, saxophone, cornet, trumpet, trombone, baritone, tuba, percus-sion, voice, and maybe, depending on the amount of interest, French horn, oboe and bassoon. (Availability of lessons will depend on the number of responses for each instrument.) This is an excellent opportunity to help your child enjoy band and choir more by being able to participate at a higher level than before. All students can greatly benefit from lessons. The ad-vanced player will gain a greater depth of understanding and solo performance while the less experienced player will get a
chance to practice the fundamentals they need. Fee is $14.00 for each once a week private lesson. Contact Mr. Feller at 440.427.6333 or [email protected] for more information or to setup lessons for your child.
Private Lessons are a great way to fast forward your child's progress. Lessons are taught one to one, dealing with just your child's skills. Here are some excellent area teachers:
