The Monroe-Woodbury Music Boosters and Souza Scholarship for the Performing Arts will present the 32nd annual Monroe-Woodbury Faculty & Friends Concert on Saturday, Oct. 23, at 5 p.m., in the high school auditorium in Central Valley.

The show will include performances from music faculty members both past and present, community members and district alumni.

All proceeds from the performance will go to the scholarship funds of the Souza Foundation and Monroe-Woodbury Music Boosters.

For the 10th year in a row, the Monroe-Woodbury community was recognized as one of the Best Communities for Music Education by the NAMM foundation.

“The Faculty & Friends Concert has been a longstanding tradition of the M-W music department,” District Music Coordinator Chris Taborsky said. “I cannot think of anything more musically inspiring for our students than for them to see their teachers performing on stage. To know that 100% of the proceeds will go to scholarship funds makes the event that much more special and motivating for us.

Tickets for in-person audience members will be available at the door ($12 for adults and $6 for students/seniors).

This year’s event will also be live streamed for viewers at home. Information about accessing the live-stream can be found on the M-W Music Boosters website at https://sites.google.com/view/mwwoodburymusicboosters/home
