WELCOME TO THE MVSD BANDS HOME PAGE!

Mount Vernon, Washington is located 60 miles north of Seattle and 30 miles south of Bellingham in the heart of the Skagit Valley.  Founded to support a thriving logging industry, Mount Vernon is now best known for its annual Tulip Festival, which draws in hundreds of thousands of visitors to our little corner of the world.  With the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range to the east and the Puget Sound to the west, Mount Vernon doesn't lack for artistic inspiration.  The Mount Vernon School District takes advantage of that inspiration and allows its music programs to blossom.  We hope you enjoy visiting our site and that it brings you to one of our many concerts throughout the year, or that it prompts you to support us any way you can.

Band and Orchestra Parent Booster Group:
Meetings are on the second Tuesday of every month from 7 to 8 pm in the Band/Orchestra room.

Getting involved in the Orchestra/Band program will give you the opportunity to share with your child the last four years of their education. These years fly by! Your child might say they would rather not have you around, but most parents actually learn that their kids appreciate their involvement. The Orchestra/Band parents are needed to support the director and help with the details of fundraising, transporting, feeding, and running an organization of this size. The orchestra and band needs parents to be able to function; it is for this reason that we urge you to get involved. Join one of the many committees. We need your help! Grandparents, siblings, or any member of your family can get involved and make a difference. The Booster Group is a great way to meet the parents and the kids your student will be spending much of their time with.
