Every year, the Top 10 dinner honors the top 10% of that year's graduating class. Needless to say, the amount of music students is always staggering. We are so proud of everything these young people have accomplished!!! Especially cool was the fact that Isabela Pelikan chose her flute teacher Melanie Mathew as her influential educator, Katelyn Eloso chose her percussion teacher Vern Spevak, and Jared Reichardt chose Mr. Schoenbach.

Last week, the OHS Band Program (with the help of our AWESOME boosters) put on a great Band Bandquet, encapsulating a year that has been filled with great music, and great students. The cafeteria was decorated as only our Boosters can do, complete with a clock tower with working lightning bolt, a real DeLorean car, and Mr. Schoenbach and Mrs. San Roman dressed up as Marty McFly and Doc. After an incredible dinner, we started the awards portion of the evening. Taking home hardware were:
