THE LOS OSOS BAND
& COLOR GUARD “WEEKLY”
For November 30 – December 7, 2014
“Success is the peace of mind that is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing
you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming”
– Coach John Wooden
General Announcements:

A SUCCESSFUL SEMESTER OF MARCHING BAND– Is really the culmination and blending of
the time and talents of many different individuals who come together for a common goal. There are
many people who contributed to the 2014 Regiment. Each and every student in the Regiment this fall
semester has worked hard to uphold the Los Osos “Tradition of Excellence.” It was not always easy and
the work was hard. At the end of the process though, the character-building and work-ethic-refining
process of this semester has left a valuable mark on each and every member of the Regiment. Simply
put, we are better people because of the process and the activity itself. We came together as a family, we
worked hard, we focused on a shared vision of success, and we finished proud. We owe our thanks to
many: to the booster club parents for their ongoing support; to the instructional staff for sharing their
fine teaching; to the student staff for their exemplary leadership (both on and off of the field); to the
many alumni and fans whose enthusiastic support pushed us forward all season; to the students, faculty,
and administration of Los Osos High School for their unending support. Now as a 6A organization, we
are again growing and refining ourselves, just as we did when we began to grow up as a 5A group. As
Coach John Wooden said, “The journey is greater than the inn.”
Music education at Los Osos High School is alive and thriving. And now, let’s keep going!
ONWARD!

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC LESSONS – We cannot possibly overstate the value of a band student
taking private lessons on his/her instrument. Aside from daily individual practice, obviously, there
really is no other single way for a musician to improve their skills than to take individual lessons with a
professional. These can be a simple half-hour a week, or an hour twice a month or (ideally) an hour a
week. The band experience is a full group experience and does not contribute to individual growth of
each player nearly as fast as private lessons can. Our master classes are like a group lesson, but
individuals gain more from one-on-one attention. “Do you take private lessons on your instrument?” is
one of the very first questions we ask students in any of our auditions; followed by, “How often?” and
“With whom?” The following is a list of program-approved lessons teachers. Certainly there are other
teachers in our area and many are fine people and well-qualified. THESE folks however have our
highest endorsement. We will continue to add to and amend this list as best we can. GO FOR IT!

WINTER GUARD AUDITIONS – Will be held at the Cafeteria during our normal evening practice
time on Tuesday, December 2, 2014. For the 2014 WGASC Winter Guard season Los Osos will be
assembling a J.V. Winter Guard and a Varsity Winter Guard. The audition for placement into one of
these groups will consist of a simple flag and dance routine that will be learned in zero and first periods
on Monday, December 1st. Students will have time to work on the routine individually and in groups on
Monday and Tuesday mornings, with the audition on Tuesday night. Go Osos!


HONOR BAND OPPORTUNITIES – Participation in an honor band provides a challenging,
musically-rewarding opportunity for students and helps them to advance their musical knowledge and
understanding beyond simply playing in their own high school groups. Honor group participation also
looks great on college and university applications. Honor groups are “extra,” meaning that they are in
addition to your first commitment, which is to your own program here at Los Osos. Dr. Andress does
grant some schedule exceptions to honor band students when overlaps occur, but as always it is the
student’s responsibility to work this out in advance. We encourage all of our band students to seek out
an honor band experience this school year. The following opportunities are currently available:
(Additional honor group opportunities will be posted here soon!)

COLLEGE BAND AUDITIONS & SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES – We encourage all of our
Los Osos musicans to consider playing in college band, whether or not they plan to be music majors.
College bands provide an excellent opportunity to meet other students from across the campus and from
different majors. Different colleges offer different scholarship opportunities for incoming students, both
music majors and non-majors. We encourage our seniors to research the music opportunities at the
colleges of their choice and to continue furthering their musical experience! While our program does
not endorse one college music program over another, we occasionally receive college band audition
materials in the mail and offer this information to our students. The following college programs have
sent us this information:

ASSIGNMENT (for all brass and woodwinds in all band classes) – Reed/slide check today for 25
points. Woodwinds will have five (5) good-quality reeds on their stand for inspection. These reeds
need to be out of the wrappers and should be rotated each day so that each woodwind student has a
minimum of five (5) working reeds at any good time. Brass players will be expected to completely
disassemble and reassemble their horns (all slides and valves out and back in) in a reasonable timeframe.
This demonstrates that all slides and valves are in good working order and can be manipulated for
proper intonation.
