OH band performs in, tours Orlando

Members of the Oak Harbor High School Rocket Marching Band spent their holiday vacation on a tour to Orlando, Florida.
The band left Oak Harbor on Dec. 27, 2023 and is scheduled to return Jan. 2, 2024.
The itinerary included stops at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom and Epcot.
In addition to taking in the sights and sounds of Orlando, the band was selected to perform in the "Magic Kingdom March" Parade on Dec. 29 at Magic Kingdom. The band also took part in a Disney workshop, where students had the opportunity to work with a professional Disney musician and record a Disney soundtrack in one of Disney's studios.
"We are very proud of our students and we're proud to represent our school, our community, and our state" said Travis Magoto, director of the high school band. Jonathan Head, assistant director, added: "This trip only happens once every four years, and it will undoubtedly be a trip these students remember for the rest of their lives."
