The 2020 - 2021 Oak Grove High School "Sound of Grizzly Pride" is proud to announce our 2020 - 2021 Field Show ...
WE 'R'
Our country is going through some difficult times. WE 'R' (are) gives the band a chance to portray our reactions to the strife and the incredible resilience and determination we have as people in our society.
The first movement. 'Resilient', represents both the innocence and peace that we all have before being presented with challenging or tragic situations. Using quotes from several children's songs, this playful movement is also a powerful way to begin our show.
'Relentless' hits right away with dissonant chords signaling that all is not well. Our fierce determination fights a musical battle with the adversity and the music signals that we will persevere and power through the tough times.
The last movement, 'Reverence" represents hope by making use of Horatio Spafford's "It Is Well With My Soul". In life, we are all presented with challenges and struggles. The three 'R's represented in our show certainly are a powerful weapon in our fight against the adversity we face in life. WE 'R'.
We've got a mask that we hope you will be proud to wear! Support your Oak Grove Bands - The Sound of Grizzly Pride with these great masks with our band logo on them. We've got two styles - the standard loops over your ears style and a bandanna style that can be tied behind your head. Each style is just $10 and the best thing is that $5 from each goes back into our band program!
