Band signups, lockers
Signup sheets for band/orchestra tryouts are posted on the band board outside the Band Room next to the stairs. For more information about the concert ensembles auditions, visit the Band website. Also, you can check out a locker by visiting the instrument warden in room 007 (next to the midi labs). I forgot how much it costs but it goes straight to your bursar account. School of Music convocation is probably Tuesday the 22nd in Sharp at 1:30 PM. If you've never had your university ID validated to get in the practice rooms you can do that in the School of Music office. The rooms will remain unlocked for a couple weeks... who knows after that. Last spring they stayed unlocked the entire semester.

Out of room

Welcome!
Welcome to the first incarnation of the OU Trombone Choir Website.
The current plan has the navigation tabs on the left. All the current news will go on both the front and archive page, and once it gets phased out will be removed from the front.
The media page probably won't be up for a while, at least until I get back to Norman... not to mention that we're already out of webspace. The history page will also be a work in progress, hopefully with some input from Wayne. If anything is really messed up send me an email at trombonechoir@ou.edu.
