Welcome!
Welcome to friends, families, and music loving community! We are so excited to put our amazing musicians on display in a friendly battle this evening. Our students have been working hard since the beginning of the year on creating unique and entertaining sets and their progress and hard work will be on display for you today!
We encourage you to cheer loud, clap along, and get up and dance if the music moves you to.
We have snacks and refreshments located right outside of the gym and hope you stop in for something to eat.

Music is alive and well in Irvine, and that is in no small part thanks to patrons like YOU! Without an audience our music wouldn't have the same meaning and our program would not be as healthy and vibrant as it is. We truly enjoy seeing such a variety of students and musicians in our program and are grateful for the opportunity to provide them a space to share their art and passion with the public. Thank you for coming!
We would also like to thank Mr. John Pehrson, Jen Ochsner, Amy Paulsen, and James Coney for their support throughout the year, Mr. Leo Diego and the facilities staff for keeping our spaces clean and facilitating the evening, Ms. Samantha Sanford and the tech students for their work and facility usage, Mr. Adrian Rangel-Sanchez for the undying support, Mr. Kearci Moir and Summer Hsieh for assisting in the art for tonight, Jonathan Zuniga for his assistance in making the sound magical, Jonathan Zuniga, Luke Thomas, and David Sauer for their expertise and ensemble coaching, and the PE Department for the usage of their excellently crafted games for tonight.
