Oregon Athletic Band Council
The Oregon Athletic Band Council (OABC) is a group of students in the OMB that meets once a week throughout the school year to plan and organize many of the behind-the-scenes and logistical aspects of the OAB. Some of these aspects that the OABC handle are Festival of Bands, the winter band banquet, the Duck Call (the OMB's newsletter), recruitment, and spring intramural softball. On top of running large events, members of the OABC act as some of the student leaders for the OMB during rehearsals and on game days. Membership to the OABC is open, and its members come from every section of the band. The council is composed of several committees, each with their own region of focus, which are headed by chair positions. These positions are President, Vice President, Secretary, the Drum Majors (all of these make up the Executive Council), Communications, Activities, Historical, and Public Relations. The OABC also meets with the Director of Athletic Bands once a month to express concerns and to better coordinate the faculty with the students.

“Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Of England’s Council and her Treasury,
Who lived in both, unstain’d with gold or fee,
And left them both, more in himself content.
Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
Broke him, as that dishonest victory
At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
