Please consider donating a case or two of bottled water the next time you visit your grocery or Costco. If you have questions or if you have water you'd like to donate, please contact Marvin Swan for more information.

All profits from the sale of items on the Online Store directly benefit our programs.
 
Headline IconMarching Band Competition 
Reserve Saturday, October 29th in your calendars ... because we're going to need everyone's help with our first MBOS Marching Band Competition at Aliso Niguel HS.  We are going to need volunteers to help with *all* aspects of the show - from selling and collecting tickets, preparing and selling food, managing traffic and buses, directing bands to/from rehearsal areas, and everything that goes along with staffing a marching band competition.  It will be a full day of hard work - but we're counting on this event being successful, to help generate funds for our programs.

Be sure to sign-up on the Volunteer Register for this event.
Headline IconBand Camp Video
We've posted a 'Trailer' featuring some of our students at this summer's Band Camp.  You'll find the link to the video on our Media page on the website, along with last year's 'Trailer' and Marching Band performances.
Headline IconNew Online Volunteer Registry
Volunteers are the life-blood of our organization and without an active group of people to support our various programs and fund raising efforts, things just don't get done.  We have created a new Volunteer section on our website, which provides information about the roles and tasks associated with our Volunteer Committees.  
 
A new Volunteer Registration form now automatically saves your volunteer profile and event/task selections - making it very easy to return to the site to review and update your profile information and selections.  All information is stored in our database and readily available for committee chairpersons.

 

If you ever have a question, would like more information about our programs, would like to become more-involved with our efforts, or would just like to offer a comment about this Newsletter or the Website - please use the Contact Us form on the website to contact any of the members of the Board of Directors.

 

Thank you for your support!
