Burke's symphony concert is set for Thursday, December 3, 2026 at 7pm in Burke's auditorium. Orchestra students, select winds, and percussion students play in a setting and repertoire similar to what the Omaha Symphony does.
🎶 However, this concert is also open to any alumni or staff that wants to come play alongside!
Our concert will be a tribute to the late Dolly Parton.
We have several after school rehearsals that you can come in and hop in on. For consistency purposes, please attend at least the last two before the concert.
Below is the music planned, rehearsal schedule, and preferred instrumentation we are looking for. If there's an instrument you play that you don't see available, please email jestin.cam@ops.org and we can figure something out!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Annual Alumni Homecoming Tailgate 2 weeks ago! We had an incredible turnout, and it was wonderful to reconnect with fellow Bulldogs before the big game.
One of the highlights of the evening was lining the field with alumni to welcome the team onto the field. What a special moment and a great show of Bulldog pride!
A special thank you to the Burke Band, Cheer Team, and Crescendawgz Choir for the fantastic performances created especially for our alumni. We are also grateful to our sponsors, Kyron O'Brien ('91) owner of Proof, and Linden Market Hy-Vee for their generous support.
Extra thanks go to Adam Lundgren ('95) for his hard work with event setup and teardown, helping make the evening such a success.
