A few update:

Some statistics for you: we have processed 168 medal shipping orders. That is unprecedented. It seems that a lot of people were missing the concerts on Saturday where the medals would have been presented. There were also a lot of questions about whether other places like 2nd and 3rd will have medals or not. All these 24 years, USOMC have been presenting medals for all places.

A correction on the 2017 event. It will be the week of Feb 20th as we always line up our event with the President Day of the year.

Today is Feb 23rd, 3 days after the competition and the weekend concert. What a event, I will say.

I quoted from the program book "we have 2462 entries from different parts of the world to participate in 153 events (in total)"

And sure enough, it was one hack of a week. The competition ended with 5 concerts. Each concert was also a competition within a competition. The highest honor of USOMC was also awarded to 5 to 6 extremely talented individual who performed marvelously in the concerts. However, surprises did not stop here. In some categories, there were special momentary award where generous donors provided additional fund to categories of their interest.

All right now. Videos are in production. USOMC will notify all contestants when they are available. While you all could rest, USOMC staffs are processing medal orders right now.

thank you all for another wonderful USOMC year! Stay tune and definitely see you again next year.

Hi there! Anyone watched the Super Bowl? A good game, isn't it? For people in the SF bay areas, I think it is a relief that all those barricades have been removed and downtown is back to normal again. Hey! no complaint. Can't wait to see the next excitement. So everyone, wake up and get ready. USOMC 2016 is just 5 days away!!!

Whether you have checked your schedule before or not, I suggest that you check it again. Making sure there is no last minutes surprising.

Shine your saxophone, file your fingernails and come on in.

Today I would like to share something a bit different. It is not about music. It is about love; mother's love. This article makes me thinking about all the moms that I was working with during the registration period. Mothers tirelessly sent emails to USOMC making sure that their kids’ registration were fine. Mothers that might not be tech savvy trying to navigate the jungle of web pages to get their children registered. Mothers stayed up 2:00 am in the morning trying to registrar their kids on the night of the registration deadline. Mothers felt frustrated because their kids did not register right and now the deadline had passed; sent multiple emails to USOMC asking for exception. No matter how tiring or how frustrating they are, at the end you will see them sitting in the competition room joyfully waiting for their kids’ turn. Kids, you should really appreciate your mom’s love.

Bobby Wesson's tribute to his wife, Rayena, had been shared more than 155,000 times on Facebook as of Monday night.
