BAND NEWS

This is what Brooks' Band director was proud to announce about the contest they just did!

I would like to congratulate all band members on their fine performance Saturday at the Middleburg contest. The Raider Band placed 1st in class 4A (beating last years class 3A state runner up) and came in 3rd overall in visual performance at finals. I would also like to tell all students how much I appreciated your great behavior throughout the day. It makes my job so much more enjoyable when I can work with students who are well behaved and professional. You all represented OPHS very well and I’m looking forward to next Saturday’s competition at Fernandina Beach. A big thanks goes out to the parents as well, chaperones, pit crew, and all those who came out to support us. It was great seeing so many parents in the stands cheering us on. I hope to see you all again next week in Fernandina!

Thanks, Mr. Creswell

Our Billy

Please continue to keep Bill Sebastian, his wife Kelly, his beautiful children Alex, Kassie, Connor, and Colby and all of his friends in your prayers. Our Bill was an incredible man, husband, father, and friend. Mere words cannot begin to define his life. We were so blessed to have him in our lives. He always said all things were possible through Jesus Christ. I know with all my heart he is in heaven , our guardian angel, watching over us and waiting for us to join him one day.

Some of our Handy Work

Did I mention that I recruited two Steelers fans to help me out with this prank?
