Ohlone Community Band

Happy Daylight Saving Time OCB Members & Friends!

We are STILL getting ready to move into our New Band Room (Room 2317), located in the New Building 2 (just south of the Smith Center on the Fremont Campus). I will post route maps to help get you from the Campus Parking Garage (Pine St up from Mission Blvd) to the 3rd Floor of Bldg 2  – the new “Music Wing”.

The Parking Lot reconstruction is completed adjacent to the Smith Center. The $4 Daily Parking Permit (or a Semester Parking Permit) will be required in the rebuilt lots. All except Handicapped stalls will be available for Smith Center Event Parking.

With the move-in still not complete – we will rehearse in TV Studio B (SC-144) a few more times before we get to enjoy the high ceiling and no more curtains in Room 2317. Watch This Space (and check your emails & our Facebooks pages).

Finally (for now) – Rehearsals for our May 2 “Concert in the Park” will begin on Wednesday, April 1 at 7:30PM in TV Studio B (SC-144). We will be filling a couple of chairs for this one. So – contact me at DanSmith@Ohlone.edu if you are interested in performing with us.

See you All Soon!
