Howdy! MSC OPAS is the only organization of its kind in the nation. Our student component is what makes us unique. And many will tell you that the Fightin' Texas Aggies that make up the OPAS Student Committee, more affectionately known as OPASites, are the heart and soul of the organization.

The OPAS Student Committee is comprised of over 80 student volunteers. We are not performers. You'll see us on performance nights in our black suits ready to serve you in any way we can. We usher, take tickets, distribute programs and make sure everything in the house runs smoothly on performance nights. We also have a team of managers that provides special services (such as a hat and coat check, large print programs and hearing devices) and backstage hospitality for the artists you see on stage. We also have a public relations teamand subcommittees for education outreach, fundraising and student development.

It sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it? It is, but rest assured that we have tons of fun, too! The friendships that are formed among the ranks of the OPAS Student Committee last a lifetime. We love having a part in helping OPAS bring world-class entertainment to the Brazos Valley. We're always looking for more enthusiastic volunteers to join the MSC OPAS Student Committee.

So if you are a Texas A&M University student interested in getting great leadership experience, building friendships and bringing professional performing arts to Texas A&M, please fill out a membership application and bring it by the OPAS Office (located in the Student Programs Office on the second floor of the Memorial Student Center).

We know it is a lot of information to digest, but it doesn't even scratch the surface of what we're all about. We've got a passion for the performing arts, a passion for community service and a passion for making sure you enjoy your evening at OPAS! Enjoy the performance!

Thanks & Gig 'Em,
The MSC OPAS Student Committee
