Huge thanks to @seshires for hooking us up with some awesome gear for our students to try for a few weeks! They loved the craftsmanship, sound, and overall response of both. Thanks also to @JosephAlessiJr for connecting us with Shires! We appreciate it very much! #OGBand
One of our favorites retired yesterday. We are going to miss Mrs. Robin Hosey so much, but we wish her all the best in her retirement! Thank you for all of your years of service to OGMS and LCSD!! #warriortradition#ogmstheoriginalgrove#waymakerslcsd
