New Residence Hall Door Policy
OSWEGO, NY— Oswego Residence Life and Housing has registered a new door access policy. On-campus students are only allowed to enter their own residence hall. For students who live on campus, This has limited who can access the building, but that is just the beginning of the new policy.
“It’s just a first phase, so whether it be the student’s petition or students that have emailed, this won’t be the final change” said Shaun Crisler, Service Assistant Vice President of Residence Life and Housing. This step is to see the responses not only from students, but from the whole campus community.
Tylissa Cortis, who is currently staying at the Village responded, “Living in The Village I go from dorm to dorm to dorm with the tunnel system, so I’m less exposed to the elements when I miss the bus. Now I can’t do that.”
Residence Life and Housing is now working on the feedback and adjusting from it. Crisler is glad with the responses he’s getting, but he wants to remind everyone that not all policies are perfect. Crisler said, “Anytime you have a policy it is typically never perfect, but what you have to be open to is feedback”

Oswego High School Marching Band Takes on Syracuse
by Owen Marchand, WTOP10-TV
Fall is an exciting time for the Marching Buccaneers as they approach the Syracuse finals. The Oswego High School Marching Band is gearing up to compete in the state championships held at the Carrier Dome. This is a huge event that is celebrated by both the marching bands, and anyone who loves a good show.
The music program at Oswego High School takes pride in music education and the arts as it is full of opportunities and has something for everyone interested in music. They have multiple bands such as jazz and orchestras, and even an annual “Festival of Winds.”
The months of September and October prove to be challenging yet exciting months for the Marching Buccaneers as they are practicing, performing, and then doing it all over again. On October 15 they competed in New Hartford, followed by the Central Square competition on October 22, and now they prepare for the NYSFBC (New York State Field Band Conference) Championships at the Carrier Dome on October 30.
In last year’s Carrier Dome championships, The Oswego High School Marching Band came in 4th place during show 3 (Small School 1 Class) with a score of 85. Every year thousands of students and dozens of bands perform a show in front of judges where they will be graded based on both their visual and musical performance.
The first Championship was in 1974 and only consisted of eleven bands participating. In the past years there have been around fifty bands participating and has even had participants from outside New York State such as Connecticut and New Jersey.
