To our incoming and returning band and choir
families: We would like to take this opportunity to welcome
our Trojan musicians and their families to the Oak
Ridge Music Department. Whether your student will be
in the instrumental music program or one of our
amazing choirs, this will be an exciting and busy
year. Students will have countless opportunities to
make friends, develop skills, and grow as musicians.
But your students won’t be the only ones busy and
working. WE NEED YOU, PARENTS! The support and help
of our Music Booster parents is vital to the success
of the music program at Oak Ridge High School. We
need any and all of your available time and skill to sustain
this program, and believe it or not……. your kids
really do want you there!
Musically,
