         A special thanks to our support crew for keeping everything working smoothly during the
show. These kids

 were performers in previous concerts and their experience and knowledge of stage setup and performance preparation was a tremendous help. I would also like to thank all our sponsors for their support, especially Karen Ott for helping us put out some fires that started during morning setup.  I would also like to thank Manteca P.D. for making some excellent decisions that morning.  In addition a very special thanks to Gail Matsui for her excellent camera work in photographing all the kids and the whole event. The photos are stunning. Way to go Gail!! She has also put together some great posters of the kids at the show and they are on display in the waiting room at the store. Come down and take a look. The quality of her  work is fantastic.

HORIZON BAND PROGRAM

Of all our programs, Horizon Band Program is by far the most popular.  It consists of approximately 12 weeks of intense group studies during the summer months. Private students, who’s teacher has recommend them, may sign up for this program. These students are then divided into groups by skill level, style preferences and experience. These groups then receive training in rehearsal techniques, stage presence, song writing and arranging under instruction of Gordon Kennedy and other teachers from our staff. On completion of the program, all

 groups perform a live concert for friends and family at a local club with lighting and professional sound system. This concert is video taped and digitally recorded to be edited into a music video and presented to the students at the end of the program. This is truly a great learning experience for the students and the parents by showcasing the child’s talents and accomplishments.  This program also teaches students to work together as a team and and how to get along with other personalities thus fully preparing them for the real world as a professional musician.
