Permission Forms Required!
ORHS requires a parent permission form to be signed allowing you to attend any Masquers functions. We have a form that covers permission and medical since we are very active and working on or around the stage with various potential hazards. You must turn in a new form each school year. You must have this form turned in and on file to be involved with Masquers in any way. If you aren't sure if you have turned in your form, you can email Matthew at malloyd@ortn.edu and he can let you know.
Join GroupMe!
Our internal communications use GroupMe! We have a main Masquers GroupMe that EVERYONE involved in Masquers should join - this group is for anyone interested in knowing what is going on in Masquers. This Masquers GroupMe will share information that everyone needs to know - please don't use this GroupMe to chat.
Pinned in the Masquers Group Me and accessible to everyone on the Masquers GroupMe are the team subgroups. There is a subgroup for each area of Masquers and a Show subgroup will be added for each show. These groups will give us conversation capability for the group-specific information. If you are involved in any team or any show, you must join the GroupMe for that team or show to receive important communications. There is also a social GroupMe for those who want to chat and share thoughts. Please be respectful of time and content when using this application.
