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! “
