Amador Friends of Music

07/01/2026

As we look ahead to the new school year, we'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our 2025–2026 Board members, committee chairs, volunteers, directors, Band Admin, students, and families for their dedication and support of Amador Friends of Music.

A special thank you to everyone who worked behind the scenes—including our photographers - Shu Liu and Band Admin Soojin Hwang, social media manager Samantha Riegels, our event volunteers, and the many parents who generously shared their time and talents throughout the year.

Please join us in wishing the incoming 2026–2027 Board and committee leaders a successful year ahead. Thank you for being part of the AFM community!💜💛🎶
