An e-mail received after the August 18,
2006 Concert Finalé
We had the great privilege of being in the audience for
the Band at the Beach concert on the 18th. There are no
words strong enough to express our admiration for the adults
and the students involved and the great concert they were
able to present. Everyone involved should be immensely
proud of his and her efforts.
Our grandson played the tuba in the concert. He told us that he was amazed
at the superiority of the teachers that week over the teachers he has
had in other situations. His verbatim comment was "These are real
teachers!"
Thank you to you for your leadership and for allowing
us to hear the results.

Band at the Beach is a Peninsula-based program, whose primary
purpose is advocacy for music in our schools. Additionally, Band
at the
Beach offers extracurricular instruction during the school year,
as well as coaching at the neighborhood schools and piano
accompaniments for competitions in exchange for donations for Band
at the Beach Music Camp. The camp, originally intended for students
in the Pt. Loma, Loma Portal and Ocean Beach areas, has grown beyond
these areas, having included 27’ city and county schools
at its 2008 session. 2009 will be the camp's twenty
first year of operation.
Band at the Beach Music Camp traditionally meets the first week
of August each year. One of the goals of the camp is to prepare
a summer concert, free to the community, at the end of the session.
To reach that goal, several guest conductors are involved and each
section of the band has its own specialty coaches. As in any
business, BATB faces economic uncertainty but hopes all friends
of music will continue their support of the camp’s primary
mission...that of keeping music in our schools. Donations of available
services
and merchandise coupons are also welcomed and appreciated. All
contributions help provide scholarships, payroll, music purchases,
licensing, liability insurance, rent and custodial, nutrition breaks
and website maintenance.
