The Magic of Music is coming together wonderfully with a fantastic theme, wonderful decorations and great items up for auction.  With the inclusion of music over dinner and dancing (provided by our own musicians) this is an evening at beautiful Sunol Glen Country Club that can't be beat.  I am looking forward to the evening as a celebration of our successes-many of which would not be possible without the very funds raised from Magic of Music.

At a time when many neighboring music programs are facing drastic cuts and painful decisions are being made in other communitites about keeping music in schools, our program thrives, and in fact grows.  Thank you for your support and I hope to see you on the 28th.  Simply follow the yellow brick road!
