Student Leadership

Welcome to the Orchestra Leadership Team! 

OLT

The OLT team collaborates with boosters, fellow team members, and the director to support and enhance the school environment. While the primary focus is on activities within the school, the team's responsibilities extend beyond its walls. They actively participate in school events such as Heyday and Cav Kickoff, and play a key role in maintaining a clean and welcoming atmosphere in the school. Additionally, the team provides decorative materials, including flyers for concerts, to promote school spirit. Ultimately, the team's mission is to assist the director and foster a vibrant, engaging environment for students.

Applications

While all Woodson Orchestra members are welcome to help out with OLT activities, applications for official positions are conducted at the end of each school year, and teams are finalized before the following school year begins. Applications are conducted through an initial Google Form round, from which interviewees are selected for further consideration. All members of the Orchestra Leadership Team are expected to attend monthly meetings and regularly communicate with their team to accomplish tasks. Students who missed the application deadline or were not selected for a position may still help out with Leadership activities and may be added to the OLT during the school year at the discretion of the Team Leads.
