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:
“We may live without poetry, music and art;
We may live without conscience, and live without heart;
We may live without friends; we may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.”
—Owen Meredith (1831–1891)
“On our streets it is the sight of a totally unknown face or figure which arrests the attention, rather than, as in big cities, the strangeness of occasionally seeing someone you know.”
—For the State of Vermont, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
