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:
“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“... the Department of Justice is committed to asking one central question of everything we do: What is the right thing to do? Now that can produce debate, and I want it to be spirited debate. I want the lawyers of America to be able to call me and tell me: Janet, have you lost your mind?”
—Janet Wood Reno (b. 1938)
