“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 168 students participate in the music program from marching band to orchestra ensemble. This represents more than 8% of the 1,958 member student population of buena high school. The program helped to fund over 183,000 in district costs - both direct and indirect - that would otherwise not have been available to the school or students. Nationally, school music programs continue to struggle in times when district funding is generally unavailable. This year's successes in band leadership, competition and statewide excellence will help fuel next year's programs.”

“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 10,683, coaches and instructor fees at 31,538, uniform replacements at 18,604, instrument repairs and replacements at 2,962, music materials 3,565, competition entry fees of 4,430, depreciation costs of direct use equipment for 7,086, student awards at 2,365, props and materials for competition events and shows 8,204, along with miscellaneous other expenditures of 6,922 for such items as leadership training, honor band and marching band direct costs and equipment rentals. The marching band - "pride of the gold cost" - grew to a membership of 100 performers moving them up a division to aaa in their competitive circuit. This set a twelve year high score for the program. Four (4) marching band members successfully auditioned and toured in various drum corp international world class drum corps over the summer.”

“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. The buena hish school winter guard and drumline were both promoted up a division during their competitive season. From 2013 to 2015 both groups moved from the bottome 20% of groups to the top 20% of all ensembles in southern california. Expenditures overall - 33,593.”

“The buena hish school concert ensembles received all excellent and superior ratings in the so calif school band and orchestra association (scsboa) festival performance in march.
