PTMS Music electives are open to all students at Pacific Trails, regardless of previous experience. Our music classes meet during the school day. This year, PTMS is offering 7th grade Band, 8th grade Band, Orchestra, and Vocal Performance.
The PTMS Music Department participates in Forum's Music Festivals and Disneyland trip, SCSBOA Festivals, Padre's Band Night, and other community events and concerts. Our students participate in the SDUHSD Honor Band and Choir, CBDA All State Honor Band and Orchestra, the SCSBOA All Southern Band and Orchestra, and the CMEA All County Honor Band. |
CoachesCoaches are experts in their fields, and serve as additional instructors in the classroom. Coaches enable us to enhance the student experience by working in small groups, either assisting beginners or working with advanced students. This year we have an orchestra coach, Marguerite Jayasimha and a vocal ensemble coach, Anne Whattoff. Annual cost approximately $10,000

Sheet MusicDid you know each piece of music we play, in each ensemble, can cost hundreds of dollars? The district budget does not cover our basic music fees. We rely on donations to cover our music purchases. PTMS is a new school and we are gradually building our music library. Annual cost approximately $3,000

Organization FeesParticipation in events requires organization fees. (SCSBOA, CMEA, CBDA). Annual cost approximately $300
InstrumentsWe are gradually building our instrument supply. Currently, we supply the oboe, bassoon, bass clarinet, tenor saxophone, bari saxophone, french horn, baritone, tuba, and percussion equipment (drums) for band students and the viola, cello, and bass for orchestra students. We would like to continue to build our instrument supply. Annual cost varies depending on contributions

Uniforms and FeesDid you know our zip code houses several families in low-income housing? Our foundation pays for the uniforms of students who are unable to pay, as well as backup uniforms. If students cannot contribute to trips and other fees, we make up the difference. Annual cost approximately $1,000
Repair and MaintenanceTo keep our program running, we need basic maintenance and repair supplies on hand including orchestra strings, rosin, reeds and more. Annual cost approximately $1000
