Ride4MouraMusic (OG Band & Guard)

Band Director, Chris Moura, will be riding his bicycle from UCLA to Oak Grove High School in San Jose, CA to raise much needed funding for the OGHS Marching Band & Colorguard program!

During this 3rd Annual Ride4MouraMusic, Mr Moura will ride 451 miles along the beautiful California coastline, through windy back roads in central California, and about 50 miles on highway 101!

Mr. Moura’s journey as a cyclist and career as a band director started at UCLA and, for the past 22 years, he has shared his love for music with his students at Oak Grove HS.

If you believe in the power of music and the marching arts in public schools, please consider making a donation. $5, $25, $50, $100, $500, or any amount is greatly appreciated and will keep our marching program on the field performing at the highest level.

Help Mr. Moura reach his goal of $20,000+ by donating to the Oak Grove Band Boosters. Remember, donations are tax deductible!

Why Should You Support Oak Grove Band & Color Guard?
Young people in band and guard develop crucial skills to become capable and successful adult members of society!
·        Discipline: They learn to work hard and realize that they are capable of working hard. They learn to push through.
·        Time Management and Sacrifice: They give up a lot of free time to rehearse and still get their school work done.
·        Teamwork: No one sits on the bench! They learn to depend on others and be someone who others can depend on.
·        Resilience and Flexibility: They make mistakes and keep going. They take criticism and they adjust and improve.
·        Connections: They interact with students they might not normally meet. They develop a second family that helps them through tough high-school years.
·        Brain & Body Benefits: Countless studies show the benefits of music and movement for school performance and health.

This program provides so many benefits for these students (and, as a result, the wider community)!

Be as generous as you can! Thank you for your support!
