Music Department
The Oakdale High School Music Department has attained many awards and recognitions throughout its existence. The Mustang's Marching and Concert Band (now the OHS Sound Corps) was led by Allison Davis from 2008-10. Since then, it has been under the direction of Ross McGinnis.
During the 2010-2011 school year, the OHS Jazz Band performed at such notable places as the AmGen Bike Race, The County Superintendents' Dinner, and other events. They are currently the high school's only extra-scholastic band.
Since 2006, the Choir has been directed by Bryan Mills. The choir performed at Disneyland in Los Angeles during Spring Break of 2011. The ensemble was greatly awarded with recognition by the "Ears for the Arts" program and experienced a piece of magic in an exclusive Disney workshop.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or department:
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
