SUPERBOWL 49ers Faithful Rally 2024

We were so excited that MV’s Marching Band and Color Guard made appearance on NBC’s Today Show as they rally Niners fans ahead of Sunday's LVIII Super Bowl.  Our musicians were the sole band performing at the 49ers Faithful Rally at the City Center in San Ramon on Friday, February 9, 2024.
 

“What a fantastic performance at the rally. I'm thrilled that the nation witnessed the excellence we already know exists in Northern California – the Monte Vista Marching Band and Color Guard truly stand out as the best in class!

Thanks again for all your support, and we hope to do it again at the 2025 49ers Faithful Super Bowl rally!

Go Niners and Go Mustangs! “

Jazz Clinic by award-winning bassist and composer
John Patitucci (MVHS Alumni)


Thanks to your contributions to MV Keynoters, our musician had an amazing opportunity to participate in Jazz Clinic by John Patitucci. Without your support, this was not possible.

 

WELCOME PARENTS!

 

Whether your student has been studying music for years or they are picking up an instrument for the first time, your child is welcome at Monte Vista's Instrumental Music Programs. And so are YOU, parents and guardians!

​

It takes a village to run these programs. Volunteering is a great way to stay connected and demonstrate your interest in something that means a lot to your student. See volunteering opportunities at the INFORMATION tab and email president@MVkeynoters.org to get involved.

​

San Ramon Valley Unified Schools District requires all parents to register in order to volunteer at MVHS.
