The months of September, October, November and December span what is known as “marching season”
for the Mighty Spartan Marching Band and Pageantry Corps. Our performance calendar includes five home
and five away football games, four parades, some community service gigs, and caroling projects during winter break.
For orchestra members, this is a time to work on technique and to develop the year’s repertoire. Our “Monday Night
String Orchestra Mall Concert” in December at the Montebello Town Center is always a treat.
For parents and families, it is usually a time of chaos and bedlam trying to balance the where’s, what’s, and
why’s of their kids’ lives. There will be many requests for transportation, money, and “leniency.” Depending on
how many organizations your family gets involved with, there will be a deluge of fund raisers, group projects, social
events, and performance engagements.
Hopefully, a copy of our organization’s activities calendar now adorns every family’s
bulletin boards or refrigerators. If not, please feel free to request another copy.
It is our hope that all of you may find some time to enjoy what your kids are doing. Please join us whenever you can.
Also, please direct any questions or concerns to either director here at school.
The music room phone number is (323) 887-7900, extension 6639.
Thank you in advance for your support this year, and welcome to the program!
