is critical to further the music education of our kids - these funds support instrument purchases and repairs, music
purchases, adjudicator fees, band festival fees, honor band fees for the
director's participation, etc. In
addition, each year, we arrange for the band programs to perform at an outside
venue – this year’s venue is Disneyland. </span></div><div class="yiv1001911349MsoNormal" id="yiv1001911349yui_3_7_2_16_1361220780082_62" style="color: rgb(53, 53, 53); font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; "><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(53, 53, 53); " id="yiv1001911349yui_3_7_2_16_1361220780082_65"><br id="yiv1001911349yui_3_7_2_16_1361220780082_73"></span></div><div class="yiv1001911349MsoNormal" id="yiv1001911349yui_3_7_2_16_1361220780082_62" style="color: rgb(53, 53, 53); font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; "><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(53, 53, 53); " id="yiv1001911349yui_3_7_2_16_1361220780082_70">I am attaching a letter that you can fill and email back to me with details of your donation!
