PUSD band in need of instrunments
The Pomona High School Marching Band is finding itself something of a victim of its own success. The band program has grown considerably in the past two years and is now short on instruments.
So band director Alison Fisher is calling on community members - and especially PHS alumni and former band members - to consider donating instruments that are still in good shape.
"Some school marching bands like the parade competitions," she explained. "Here at Pomona High we're into field competition, and that's been drawing more students to our program. Also, the middle schools have been sending us more and more talented musicians. Now that our band program is rebuilding, our challenge is to make sure everyone has the instruments they need."
Anyone with a band instrument hiding in the back of the closet is encouraged to let Pomona High Marching Band members put it to good use! Your donation will help a worthy student be successful.
Cash or check donations to help the band pay for competitions, transportation, and instrument repair costs are gratefully accepted, as well.
To make a donation, or for more information, please call PHS band director Alison Fisher at 909-397-4498, ext.334.
The PHS Marching Band is preparing now for its second season of field competition. Last year the band presented an exciting and successful show called, "Colors of Latin Rock." This year the band will present a new show called, "Atlantis" featuring brand new music by Rebekah Griffin-Greene.
