As in past years, the Mira Mesa High School Sapphire Sound and the Mira Mesa Instrumental Music Boosters (MMIMB) are sponsoring a fundraiser which provides the capital for Sapphire Sound (MMHS’s Marching Band) to survive and thrive despite of the limited (non-existent) funds provided by the school district. The all day event starts with school a clean-up at 7:00am and ends with school clean-up at 11:00pm on November 7, 2009 which will be done by band students and their parents. There will be other events happening throughout the day.

There is a great need for adult volunteers to man parking, campus supervision and direction, communications, concessions and a few others.  With a band and color guard numbering in about 120 students, this feat is a little undermanned.  Parents have already signed-up to work as many hours as they can, but there are still many positions open. We are hoping that you can help us find the manpower to fill these positions.  Any one person can work as little as two hours or as much as a whole day. Thank you for any help you can give us at this time.  Sapphire Sound can only survive with your help and that of the community in which they reside.  This group has been invited to and represented Mira Mesa, San Diego, California and the United States in various world wide events including the Washington D.C. 4th of July Parade and the Opening Ceremonies of the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.
