Fun. Tickets for the rest of our kids events are still up and running,
and yeah, a lot of things, a lot of fun events for
kids in the summer and great educational activities. Now I understand the Winning the
poote is get kind of close to being sold out them, are correct there?
Coin, Yes, that's right. So that is the only ticketed event
that cost anything is the Winning the Poo tea, and it sells out very
fast, and so there are still a few seats left, okay, so
yeah, that's still available. But all the rest of the children's events are
free events. You just have to reserve a spot through like the OKM office
or just online OKM Music. That way we know how many to expect and
we can have the amount of space and the right amount of materials everything and
bring on. And this has been a lot of fun. You've been an
interned nowt for how long? Three days? Three days? They've shown you
around and got you doing things and everything. So what's the funnest part of
the job right now? With okay, am right now definitely making the props
for the tea party that we're gonna have on Saturday. Very fun. I
made a carrot patch yesterday well there, you know you don't do that every
day every day. Very fun, very fine. Now justsell once again,
not only are you an intern, but you're a performer. Now, last
year you put the lights out out there at Waller Rock and you played the
keyboard and you did a lot of singing and everything else like that. And
this year you're going to be doing something just a little different. Tell us
about what we can expect, is you lead off the festival this year?
Yeah? So our festival this year, in honor of our fortieth anniversary,
our festival is going to be completely classical music. So I'm making the grand
switch to classical music for this festival. I'm singing some art songs and I'm
playing one violin concerto. Wow, man, this is going to be great.
Yeah. Now, mind you, she did not get rained on last
year. I did not Lee Greenwood did not get rained on last year.
But the poor guy's in the middle from Buffalo Room. They made the best
of it. But you know what, that turned out to be a beautiful
night. And I can't think of a better place to kick off a festival
as grand as Okay Ams with the beauty of wool Rock. You gotta love
playing out there. Yeah, it's really fun. I remember going to Wollarrock
when I was a kid, and it's just great to be there. Yeah,
I love it. Then the show is going to move down to Tulsa
or day number two. Yes it is. We have Jenny Lynn and Adam
Tyler. They're great pianists. They're going to be playing some mozart together.
And we also have the Tulsa Honors Baroque Orchestra from Tulsa Youth. It's going
to be great. Oh indeed, indeed, ladies, I gotta ask you,
the finale looks to be to die for with the Estra Quartet. That's
going to be right here in Bartlesville, isn't it. Yes, that'll be
here in Bartlesville at the refinery we used to be the Johnstone Shair Building.
Well it is, so this is really gonna be something else. Now I
understand, Giselle. You were telling me that some of the band members kind
of float from different orchestra to different orchestra because they all know each other.
They've known each other for a long time. Yeah. So those who went
to the festival last year, you'll know that we had Estra Quartet last year
and they were amazing and they are part of a group called the Manhattan Chamber
Players who will be at will Rock on Friday. So if they're in the
whole town, don't they Yes, if there are anything like the people from
Esher Quartet, they're going to be amazing, beautiful, beautiful music. All
right, this is great now, ladies, tickets we can buy them?
Can we get them at the office. Yes. So there's three ways you
can get tickets. So one is you can go on the website okmusic dot
org, or you can call nine one eight three three six nine nine year
zero. Or you can come to the office and that will be located at
four point fifteen South Dewey, where Rose or one of our lovely interns will
come and reserve a spot for you to come to the festival. If you
see these smiling faces inside the building, you know who you're talking to because
you know they've been there for wopping three days and and you know this is
great. It's been a lot of fun, haven't it. Oh? Absolutely?
And you know something, you're you'll don't want to come back because look
what happened to yourself. We can't get rid of her, I mean,
why she's back. I mean, she's back for more. I don't even
live here anymore. I know you don't come back now. Also, we
have the the sugar Plumb Shop. Have you seen that yet? Yes?
The sugar Plum Shop is in the OKM building. It is so adorable,
Like what do you have been there? There's like little gifts and like teacups,
all sorts of like really unique decorations, huh. And merchandise there you
can buy like any of the festival shirts or hats. There's actually for this
festival we have t shirt stickers and posters for sale. They're really amazing.
So you could either order those online or in this directly in the store.
Got to get the merch yes, absolutely. You can go to the show
without the merch absolutely, yeah. I mean that's what it's all about.
You got to have a souvenir to remember it by, because you know it
said this is the big fortieth year though, this is going to be collectors
side of stuff. Oh my gosh. So once again we have the wonderful
website, and I gotta tell you, I don't know who's been putting it
together, but it's easier to surf every time I go on. Oh,
is it huge or so? All right, all right, let's see what
you might go out. But anyway, it's easy to navigate and if you
go there, not only are you going to see the prices for the tickets
that's okammusic dot org, but also you can read up a little bit about
the performers, all about the especially for kids. And if you don't know
what okam music is all about, well they'll tell you to hit the thing
that says about and it's a nice, nice, easy to consume paragraphs about
each and every little thing they do, from scholarships to working with children,
to helping out with school, so especially for kids, and then putting on
put paint in the barn and putting on a show. And it's really really
a cool thing. Great photographs too, you know, did you have a
professional photographers involved here? Did you do that yourself too? No, we
have photographers just watering, just wondering, you know, I have to give
her a hard time. Anyway, it's all there the festival. Of course.
The tickets are easy to get and again you can buy them at the
office, right, yes, okay, come right inside, say hi to
you and get get a shirt from a Coreana you know, she'll sell your
shirt there and then make sure you get tickets to see just help perform.
I don't want to embarrass her make you feel, you know, kind of
you know, like, but she does put out a great show. Have
you seen her perform, ladies. I've seen her play violin and she's amazing.
She doesn't like she's breathing. And here's yeah, I've got one of
those at home. You know, it's right by the fireplace. It's ready
to go in. I saw that. I started playing high school and I'm
set going geez, alright, that looks too easy. I started playing again.
I was like, that's not that easy. But anyway, she going
to school for it and learning a lot. Anyway, it's going to be
a great time. Okay, in music, and it's great to have young
people in the office and also being a part of this. But what do
you hope to gain from your internship? So I'm getting a minor in arts
management and entrepreneurship. So I hope to do a nonprofit one day, like
to be able to help people like okay and helps people. Where are you
going to school? I go to the University of Oklahoma. Alright, and
what about you Oklahoma State. All right, go folks, what are you
doing there? I'm studying music education and violin performance, all right, and
you sell you're a dough os. Uh yeah, yes, I just switched
my major to music industry. So but I'm still singing and playing violin.
Remember what I said before we went on the air. Don't sign any record
contracts to get that education. Okay? Yeah? How many times? How
many times have people come up to you and say, hey, sign here?
Yet I had a project where we had to sign a fake tron contract.
Well do the fake ones? All right? You don't want to have
somebody going, hey, kid, gotta make a million dollars here and you'll
never see that million dollars. See, well but you won't. All right,
got it? So it's good you're getting educated here. It is eight
forty three. It is Okay Music, and you can go to Okay Music
dot Org. Don't forget the children's programs, especially for kids, get underway
tomorrow. We've got the keyboard orchestra going on at First Presbyterian Church right there
on Dewey Avenue, and that will be at noon if I'm not mistaken.
And then you go out to SunFest later on that evening, and we'll have
the Eagle dancing. You're dancing eagles. I'm sorry, I got it committed
to memory here. And then of course we get things going the next weekend
with the big show at will Rock. Then we go down to Tulsa at
the Casha Hall, and then we bring it back to the Refinery otherwise known
as Johnstone Sarah Building, and we're gonna do it just like we did forty
years ago. I wasn't here for it. I wasn't. I was around
forty years ago. Boy was I around, But I wasn't here in Bartlesville
for the initial show. And I keep hearing such great stories from Mary Lynn
and from John and from Rosen, from everybody else who're very familiar with the
history of OKM. And if you get a chance, if you stop by
the office, just ask one of the folks been around for a little bit
and they'll regale you. You might even get to see some of the stuff
from the if you know where to look. Have you seen that? Oh
yeah, you gonna ask permission there. But anyway, it's really cool.
So tickets available at OKM music dot org. Get your t shirts and your
merge from Coreana and Brianna. They're at the Sugar Plum Shop and get your
posters and everything else because fortieth anniversary only comes around once, so you got
