Supporter Brad remembers exactly when his musical journey began: playing the clarinet in Los Angeles schools at 12 years old. Now, 50 years later, he is helping us ensure the next generation of musicians has that same life-long gift. We are so grateful for our community of donors who understand that music in schools is more than a class—it’s a foundation for a child’s confidence and future success.

Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible Band Dads out there!

The ones hauling props, fixing equipment, grilling at invitationals, and somehow knowing exactly where that missing bolt went to pin up the prop…finding it, and making it work!

And remember:
Why did the band dad bring a ladder to rehearsal?
Because he heard the band was working on high notes.

Thanks for always lifting us up...on and off the field.

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

On this Memorial Day, MCBA pauses to reflect on their sacrifice and express our deepest gratitude. Their legacy reminds us of the importance of unity, dedication, and service...values we strive to uphold both on and off the field.

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” John F. Kennedy
