The Monte Vista Keynoters is a non-profit 501(c)3 parent and community booster organization making high quality Instrumental Music (IM) education possible at Monte Vista High School. The Keynoters organization provides the funds and volunteers required to operate our successful and award-winning program. Since neither the School District or the State provides funding for the Instrumental Music program, we are self-funded by class donations from parents and fundraising. We rely on parent donations to cover approximately 70% of the total annual IM program budget. The remaining 30% of funding comes from several fundraisers that Keynoter volunteers produce and manage each year. 

Parent donations to the Keynoters directly benefit your student, covering the many costs necessary to sustain a quality Instrumental Music program at Monta Vista.

These costs include items such as:

• Entry fees and transportation costs for competitions

• Instrument purchase and repair

• Sheet music

• Uniforms

• Coaches and clinicians

• Music licenses

• Equipment and facilities improvement
