Magic of Music Fundraiser 

     

You are invited to attend the Magic of Music Fundraiser to benefit the Amador Music Programs.  This year's event, Sunday Night Live featuring Tastes of Terror, to be held on Sunday March 24 from 4-8pm promises to be an exciting event.  For the first time ever, it will be held at the Firehouse Arts Center in downtown Pleasanton.  Guests are invited to arrive at 4pm to enjoy a scrumptious feast while viewing a sidewalk sale and interactive raffles of unique and different prizes. At 6pm, the show begins.  Guests will hear special performances from Jazz A and Jazz B students and then participate in a live auction featuring opportunities to win vacation homes, unique events with "celebrities" and lots of special prizes.  The community is invited to join in on the fun.  

 

To purchase tickets, please go to amadormusic.org.   For more information about the event and our special VIP sponsorships, contact Ellen McGraw or Joe Foos.

MOM sponsorship and fundraining    
 
Our Magic of Music sponsorship and fundraising campaign has a couple of new members.  Cisco has joined as an Ensemble sponsor and Workday has matched the $250 contribution of an Amador band family to double their donation.  As a result, the Amador family will receive two VIP tickets to the Magic of Music event for their gracious efforts.

We need your help in doing more of the same.  Ask your employer to match your contribution of $250 or more and receive two VIP tickets to the Magic of Music event yourself.  Or ask your employer to help our efforts as a Corporate Sponsor and receive logo branding on all marketing materials and recognition during the Magic of Music event.

Contact Joe Foos for more info.
