Welcome to the Oswego East High School band website! The band program at OEHS consists of students who participate in our 5 curricular ensembles in addition to our various extra-curricular groups.
Our goal is to inspire students to achieve musical excellence and establish a life-long appreciation and understanding of music. |
Personal
Responsibility In Daily Effort |
IHSA has made a decision to delay the start of the high school football decision to a later date in the second semester. With this decision, and with the knowledge that marching band competitions are canceled for the fall, we will also be postponing the marching band season. The previously scheduled summer and fall rehearsals and performances will not take place.
We hope to be able to provide a marching band experience to the students during second semester. We know that the type of performance we do may look different to the performances we have had in the past. Any type of decisions for performing will be based upon CDC guidelines and expectations from the state and from the district. Additionally, we realize some students may add or drop participating in marching band because of other activities and responsibilities taking place during the rescheduled season. Once we have been able to create a schedule, we will share it with you.
We know this comes as a disappointment to many students and family members, and we hope you realize the decision was not made lightly. We hope to be able to come together and play through the show music at some point for an audience. Students, please know the work you did over the summer on the show has not gone unnoticed.
We are very proud to be the directors of such a great group of students, and we hope to be able to come together soon.
