FOCUS ON GRANTS: Why MBEF's Investment in Music Matters

Every year, eager Manhattan Beach third graders choose which instruments they will study, finally able to take band or orchestra. Many of those early learners continue on to our award-winning MCHS band, our Carnegie Hall-singing Choir, and our outstanding symphonies at MBMS and MCHS. Learn more about why MBEF donors saved MBUSD's music program a decade ago and hear the results yourself.
