Welcome!!! The Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School Band is an exciting place to play. Every day we work together as a team to help express the music composers have created through the ages. Through lessons and practicing we transform ourselves into professional musicians with the culmination being an impressive performance at our very own Connetquot High School. Our program has been growing each and every year so for the first time in years we have been able to create three bands; 6th Grade, 7th Grade, and 8th Grade. And we cannot forget about our Jazz Band! The different pages on this site will help you get better acquainted with the bands' day to day activities and give you specific information regarding our program. There are also many outside organizations designed to help students, teachers, and musicians. The Suffolk County Music Educators Association SCMEA.ORG, The New York State School Music Association NYSSMA.ORG, and the National Association for Music Educators MENC.ORG are just a few. Before you click to another page or a different link we in the OBMS band would like to thank you, the family, friends, and community members who time and time again support our efforts and let us know you understand the importance of music and creativity in a student's education. Thank You!!!
