What a remarkable 2016 Marching Band Season! Our children placed 7th in the 1A Division at the WBA Championships competing against the top schools in California. An amazing feat considering this is their first year in the circuit. Congratulations MHHS Mustang Brigade Band, Troy Rexelle, Thu Powell and Arturo Espinoza!
They displayed elegance, talent and professionalism throughout the season. The time and dedication they have invested are astounding - neither the heat on Saturdays nor the cold on Monday nights could stop them from practicing. We are very proud of our children as they behaved like champions. During this Thanksgiving Holiday, there are so many people to be thankful for:
The Lammersville Unified School District for ensuring the Marching Band Program is available to our children and for the support they have extended from funding & providing transportation during competitions to ensuring we have coaches leading our children to success. Our MHHS Principal, Ben Fobert, who is a mentor, a friend and an advocate, and his staff. Our Band Director, Troy Rexelle, and the coaches, Thu Powell and Arturo Espinoza, for sharing their talents and for teaching our children the values of discipline and hard work.
My fellow MHHS VAPA Boosters Board Members (Anne Goodrich, Atul Khanna and Emilie Taylor) and Chairpersons (Roel Magpoc, Sergio Sanchez, Portia Yanga, Luz Mapoc, Pallavi Kharche, Danamer Mercado and Michelle Kurylo), the volunteers and donors (you know who you are) for the countless hours, energy and resources you have given wholeheartedly.
Indeed, this was an extraordinary experience to witness and to be a part of as our children fulfilled their dreams and journeyed “Into the Clouds” ...
