This is the 2nd year of music at Marina Vista Elementary. We have literally starting the program from scratch! This year will include classroom music for all 1st through 5th graders, 4/5 choir, and beginning band. My goal is to continue building the classroom instrument supply, piece by piece, year by year. Any donations will be invaluable! Thank you!!!
