“Buena music association's exempt purpose is to support all levels of music program for the buena high school student body. The organization does this through various programs from student and family fund raising (sees candy drive, car washes, movie nights and chili cook-off just to name a few), community festivals along with ventura county fair. Students and parents work diligently to help keep music programs alive and vibrant in a time when school districts do not have funds to continue to support these life skill programs. Approximately 280 students participate in the music program from marching band to orchestra ensemble. This represents more than 10% of the 2,000 member student population of buena high school. The program helped to fund over 194,000 in district costs - both direct and indirect - that would otherwise not have been available to the school or students.”

“The student programs consist of concert band, drumline, jazz band, marching band, string orchestra and wind ensemble. The support for these programs include transportation at 18,036, coaches fees at 32,965, uniform replacements at 12,689, instrument repairs and replacements at 3,973, leadership training/clinicians at 2,322. Direct costs of the marching band, drumline and color guard represents 29% of the total student program costs - or 28,273.00 these direct costs for student participants enabled the program to participate in two of the largest fairs/festivals in the county - the strawberry festival and the ventura county fair. The students were able to carry the message of school music and spirit to over 500,000 people.”

“As stated earlier, between the strawberry festival and ventura county fair, over 1/2 million people are in attendance to these two events. The other festivals, fairs and parades boost this number to just under 600,000 general population. The students involved take these experiences into their adult years assisting in leadership, performance and overall confidence for many life tasks.”

“This year's spring trip headed to san diego county. 50 students were in attendance. The first day in san diego, the students performed on the decks of the aircraft carrier uss midway - a static display on north harbor in san diego. The uss midway offers music performance opportunities as part of its school program. The performance was one hour in duration. With a daily attendance of over 2,000 on board ship, at any one time, the buena music program touched over 300 visitors from all over the world as the uss midway is wildly popular and the most visited static naval museum in the world. For the second day, the students enjoyed the opportunity to play with one of california's most renowned high school music programs at rancho bernardo high school. The buena music students practiced and performed with this stellar group for 3 and 1/2 hours. The students left energized and thrilled with the experience. On the third day, the students visited the museum of making music in carlsbad, ca. This museum is dedicated to preserving and showcasing music instruments and products. On permanent display - hundreds of vintage instruments, classic audio and video clips and many interactive areas. While exhausted when they returned home, the parent and student comments range from "spectacular" to "i wish i had done these things when i was in high school."”

“The amounts reported here are primarily costs for student and parent fundraising efforts - 32,222.00. These expenditures include entry fees for various locations - 820.00, food and non-food cost items - 6,169.00, mixed bag and sees candy costs - 7,221.00 along with equipment maintenance and depreciation for 12,562.00 and recognition programs for 5,450.00. Fundraising efforts brought the music message throughout the county and to general population classmates. Thousand oaks rotarian event, banana festival in port hueneme, along with funnel cake selling at various events helped to bring music into the lives of over 30,000 people. Student recognitions included banquets, awards and opportunities within various expanded ensemble groups developed by the music program director.”
