Music Program
The Las Plumas/Oroville Alliance Marching band is the biggest source of prestige for the Oroville Unified High School District, having consistently placed among the top ten bands in California during the duration of it being under the direction of director Jeff Stratton. In the fall of 2008, the band (called LPO) won 9 sweepstakes awards, almost breaking the record for the school. The same school year, the band room's renovation was completed, allowing room for the hundreds of trophies and plaques accumulated over the years. Some of LPO's biggest consistent rivals include Fairfield High School, Armijo, Golden Valley, and Franklin. The ratio of Oroville students enrolled in the band to Las Plumas students is nearly 2:5, with the vast majority of students and leadership at the other school.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or program:
“Words move, music moves
Only in time; but that which is only living
Can only die. Words, after speech, reach
Into the silence.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.”
—For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
