All the RMS music programs also have had events and performances held throughout the year with achievements to be proud of too:- Performed in their Winter and Summer concerts- Benefited from clinicians for sectional work throughout the year such as:-- Tracey Hurley (trumpet) and Tennessee OHanlon (clarinet)- Having clinicians come does help to offer individual attention to those that need more help.- Redwood sent 4 ensembles to participate in the CMEA festival hosted by SHS. This was the first festival experience for the majority of our students. - Bass students attended the San Francisco 2023 Winter Bass Bash- 9 RMS students qualified to participate in CASMEC All-state- RMS came 4th in the ranking overall with the number of kids accepted to participate in all-state and one of the students managed to be concertmaster for one of the orchestras. - A total of 188 students (band, orchestra & choir) traveled to Disney to attend workshops and hold performances.5th grade is where the drive for music begins for SUSD students. They start the year with instrument trials where they will be fitted with one of their top two choices. When they receive their first instrument they are taught how to hold, care and assemble the instrument, as well as make their first sounds. They are obsessed with the little things like in the case of a wind instrument, hearing the click when inserting the valve. The excitement is palpable! Half way through the year the students switch their instruments between band and orchestra ensuring they will be able to decide, with this exposure, whether band and/or orchestra is a road they wish to continue onto to RMS. 2792603 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 30 30 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false CA X X Richard Aochi 4087186369 19536 Bainter Ave Los Gatos CA 95030 X Alicia de Fuentes President 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mrudula Prashant Vice President 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tista Kapoor Vice President 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bharti Kishan Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nisha Hebbalae Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dave Holt President 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Vidya Vineet Vice President 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Andy Dimock Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tim Tang Treasurer 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Isabelle Gecils At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pearl Thomas At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Chang At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dhanashri Kulkarni At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rashi Sanghi At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ruchi Joshi At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rohan Vineet At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sameer Vaidya At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arnita Profitt At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cecile Cohen-Jonathan At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Olivia Zhou At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Beatrice Boselli At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Senthil Krishnamurthy At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rahul Agarwal At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dongni Chen At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ramya Vasu At Large 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lily Chow At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ann Ison At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Meghana Palande At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sneha Melkote At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Yanchen Xu At Large 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Revathi Koteeswaran Treasurer 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Aochi Controller 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 250222 250222 Program contributions 711130 2476275 2476275 2476275 1637 1637 0 0 0 2516 2582 -66 -66 -66 78564 28757 49807 49807 0 0 0 2777875 2476275 51378 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5000 5000 0 4579 4579 0 0 0 241784 241784 0 34711 22513 12198 0 0 0 2159621 2159621 0 0 0 0 0 7833 7833 Program Wishlist 100935 100935 Music & Drill 91756 91756 Uniform 84633 84633 Supplies 48205 48205 52951 43156 9795 2832008 2792603 39405 0 179787 60928 603232 644768 0 0 0 0 0 0 1856122 41867 0 0 0 0 0 0 2639141 747563 10840 1881910 33625 1881910 44465 X 253463 89693 503768 613405 757231 703098 2639141 747563 -54133 X false true X true false X 126363 222684 112362 172339 250222 883970 0 0 126363 222684 112362 172339 250222 883970 89638 794332 1079 1064 283 177 1637 4240 0 44193 12361 12962 61013 49807 180336 1068546 5497137 0.74340 0.71770 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2806632 28757 28757 2777875 2777875 2860765 28757 28757 2832008 2832008 Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 Special event (net) $28757 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S Special event (net) $28757 false CA Pancake Breakfast 51715 51715 12848 Cookie Dough Sale 26849 26849 15909 78564 78564 28757 28757 49807 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Reviewed and confirmed at Board meeting.
