It has been a very challenging year, but we were fortunate that several local businesses stepped up to help us. We cannot express what their sponsorship meant to our program both financially and in terms of moral support. For this we offer our sincere thanks for all they’ve done for us.
This is it – our last officially advertised meeting tomorrow (Monday May 7th) at 7:00PM
You can bring your banquet reservation and find out a bit about what is going on for the rest of the year and into/through the summer – We will introduce the positions of the new board and give you a chance to hear from your new president.
This will be a quick meeting – and you know that’s true since one of my promises was to keep the meetings short and to the point over the year
It has been a real pleasure to be able to work with all of you. This booster club has got a great set of parents dedicated to assist in enabling their children to get the best musical education possible.
I will miss all my fellow volunteers but most of all I will miss the students and the beautiful music they have created over the year. May music in its countless variations be always part of their life.
Your President
Regina Karner

The Martin County High School Band will welcome visitors from Funairi High School in Japan as the two bands combine for an exchange of cultures and a musical collaboration. This is the fourth time Funairi High School has visited Martin County and it will be the last time that their director, Mr. Tsuneyoshi Kasaoka, will join them as he will retire this year.
Saturday, March 24 at 1:00pm the two bands will combine for a concert at the South Fork High School Auditorium where the event was relocated because of a fire at the Martin County High School Auditorium. First Mr. Kasaoka will direct his band in several selections; then Martin County’s Director of Bands, Ms. Michelle Brown, will conduct her band before the two groups combine for the finale.
The Funairi Band is one of Japan’s top high school band programs and is playing to sold out audiences on their United States tour. The Martin County High School program also has a tradition of excellence, recently extending their run of straight superiors to 32 years with their performance at District 13 M.P.A. Festival.
There will be concessions available and a silent auction prior to the concert beginning at 11:30am. Some of the items up for bidding include an electric guitar autographed by country music star Chris Cagle and an NFL football autographed by Rondé Barber. The concert starts at 1:00pm. Tickets are $5 and are available from any band member or email Tigerregiment@gmail.com for reservations. All proceeds from the concert and silent auction will go to offset the band’s expenses. Several of the major items will be open for bidding online prior to the event.
