“The level of dedication exhibited by our students to represent our community on a global stage is unmatched. Each & every student works hard on and off the field tirelessly to uphold the standard of the MMC. Therefore, each & every student is deserving of this opportunity regardless of financial capabilities. As the Band Director, I vow to make sure every student gets to Pasadena, CA. with help of our amazing community.”

Every performance represents more than the students on the field. It represents their families, educators, alumni, community, and everyone who believes young people deserve opportunities to discover just how far their gifts can take them.
