Every year in May, the Oswego Marching Band and Color Guard concludes its year with the Memorial Day parade. This parade means a great deal, for both the holiday and the final marching band event of the school year. “The Memorial Day parade not only displays remembrance for all of our troops, but gives the marching band one last chance to perform with each other,” said OH senior drum major Heidi Glaser. The marching band and color guard performs on the way to the cemetery, and the season ends on a good note.

Beyond the chocolates and roses, Valentine's Day has an interesting past. Valentine's Day was a mosaic of ancient Roman fertility rites, the solemn remembrance of Christian saints, and poetic expressions of courtly love. Today, with romance and affection, we globally celebrate love, friendship, and everything in between. “Valentine’s Day represents an opportunity to talk about love in a broad cultural sense, not only romantic love, but friendship, family bonds, and appreciation,” said OH Spanish teacher Francisca Castellanos.
