Why on earth are we talking about mattresses? (updated)

More info soon, but the date will be March 25, from 10 am - 5 pm. Your music Booster Board has been looking for new ways to raise funds. And when we heard of this, we had to do it.

So we are looking to do our own event in the spring and will need help getting the word out. Interested in helping out, contact us. Or swing...

December: Two concerts & Santa comes to MTHS

December: Two concerts & Santa comes to MTHS

December is a short month on the school calendar, but ripe with big music events: A choir/orchestra concert, a band concert, and our biggest fundraiser of the year: Breakfast in Santa’s Workshop.
