      Music Boosters is the umbrella organization for all PVP High School instrumental groups including Orchestra, Marching Band, Jazz band, Concert band, Drum Line and Colorguard. The purposes of Music Boosters are to aid each of the instrumental groups, support music at PVP High School and to meet the legal requirements of a non-profit organization.

     Music Boosters is split into divisions of musical groups, with each group providing its own budget, coaches, instrument purchases and functionaries. The head of each group is known as the Representative (Rep); thus there is a Marching Band Rep, Jazz Band Rep, Orchestra Rep, Drum Line Rep, and Colorguard Rep. The Representatives serve as the Chair of their own group, and as Board Members for the parent organization, Music Boosters.
The membership dues are $75 and are allocated as follows:
Umbrella organization $15
-pays for insurance, graduation gifts, all group instrument purchases, scholarships, etc.
Musical group of choice $60
-based on student's participation; will be evenly divided if student in multiple groups

Any additional donations beyond the membership dues are greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible. The dues are insufficient to meet the needs for all instrument and music purchases, and hiring of coaches. Your donations may be made during general student registration or may be mailed to:

     The music awards banquet will be held on Wednesday, May 17, 2006 at Los Verdes Country Club. All students and their families are invited to attend to recognize the students, faculty and staff for a great year in music at PVP High School. Flyers with forms will be handed out closer to the date, and also will be available on the web site.
     Several times during the year, the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association, California Music Educators Association, and other organizations sponsor auditions for membership in honor orchestras, bands and jazz bands. Acceptance is an honor and permits the student musician to participate in additional off-campus musical activities with other outstanding musicians from around the state. Ms. Marino and Mr. Steiner will provide information regarding audition dates and procedures.
     The activities, awards and events in the music department are published in the "UPBEAT" section of Paw Prints, the school newspaper which is mailed to each student's home each month. The Music Booster Communication VP will be editing the articles for UPBEAT, and needs your draft article by the 9th of the month preceding publication.
