SUMMARY:2nd Annual Highland Music Gala
DESCRIPTION:2nd Annual Highland Music Gala\nJoin us for an unforgettable evening of music\, dining\, and giving back at the Annual Highland Music Gala ! \nHighland musicians have a special event invitation to march at Pearl Harbor on\nDecember 7\, 2025! We want to see Highland High School and Bakersfield\,\nCalifornia represented at this momentous occasion! \nPurchase tickets online at: BMTSTARS.COM\nDinner is included in the price of a ticket ($85 + $5.41 processing fees) with an entree\nchoice of tri-tip\, chicken\, or pasta. There will be live entertainment\, games\, and amazing\nsilent auction opportunities. The lounge bar will be open for beer\, wine\, and cocktails. \n \nBackground: Highland High School opened in 1970 in northeast Bakersfield\, surrounded by open fields and land used for grazing sheep. As the school is now in its 5th decade\, Highland has realized tremendous growth in many areas of the performing arts. One unique element of the music program that sets them apart from others is their core group of students who play the bagpipes\, a tradition that has carried on for decades. Known as the Highland Scots\, students are recognized by their wearing of the kilts and\ntheir eye-catching green\, blue\, and white. Their marching band is known as the Black Watch Brigade\, a royal regiment of Scotland. Their field show this year is entitled “To Those About to Rock\,” transforming classic tunes into a fun and energetic display. HHS also has a full orchestra\, and a jazz band that plays at special events. For more information about this event or upcoming events\, please contact: Sandra Caudel\, Booster President 661-333-6088 Candace Garcia\, Booster Vice President\, 661-427-7321 Theresa Louie\, Booster Secretary\, 661-565-5077 Sarah Haggard\, Gala Chairperson\, 661-246-7227 \nDonation Letter \nTo whom it may concern\,\nOn behalf of the Highland Music Boosters\, I am reaching out to request your generous support for\nour upcoming Highland Music Gala\, an event dedicated to raising funds for an enriching and\neducational experience for our talented young musicians. This event brings together music\nenthusiasts\, local businesses\, and individuals who share a passion for nurturing the artistic growth of\nour students.\nOur fundraising goal for this year’s Highland Music Gala is $25\,000. This amount is crucial to cover the\ncompetition and festival fees\, food for the kids during events\, uniforms\, garment bags\, props\, drill\,\nsupplemental education tools and other costs that arise throughout the school year. Fundraising will\nalso help toward covering the cost of the December 7\, 2025\, trip to Pearl Harbor so that our students\nmay participate in the 84th commemorative ceremony. We are committed to ensuring that these young\nindividuals receive a comprehensive educational experience that is both enjoyable and enlightening.\nWe kindly ask for your support in the form of cash donations\, silent auction items\, giveaway items\, or\ncorporate sponsorship for the Highland Music Gala.
