About the Pep band

OMS Pep Band

The OMS Pep Band is all about energy and FUN! Students perform upbeat music ranging from pop hits to classic rock favorites. It’s open to all 7th–8th grade band students and all band instruments!

The group meets on Tuesdays after school from 3:05–3:45 pm.

Is it practice?
Yes! Pep Band meetings are rehearsals where students will practice music as a group. The more minutes students spend playing and practicing, the more progress they will make—and the better they get on their instruments, the more fun band will be!

Commitment
At this time, there is no week-to-week commitment required. Since this is the first year we are offering Pep Band Club, we want to get started, see what our student numbers look like, and then evaluate how it will work best moving forward.

Mentors
We are excited to collaborate with the Onalaska High School Band. High school students will be attending Pep Band to serve as mentors for our younger musicians.
