Each year, OMSD gives students the opportunity to choreograph to showcase their creative talents. Students are fully responsible for every aspect of their piece -- from developing the concept of the piece to deciding on music, props, costuming, and lighting.
Applications for the Fall 2017 Concert are due August 11th, 2017. Here's a link to the online application:
