Fifty-six talented students from the Monroe Middle School Band will be performing the National Anthem at the upcoming Santa Clara Men's Basketball Game against San Diego on Saturday, February 3rd. The event, set to be broadcast on ESPN+, marks a significant milestone for the school and its budding musicians.

The band's participation at the game comes as a result of a special invitation from the university. To celebrate and involve the school community, Santa Clara University is extending a special ticket rate for Monroe Middle School supporters.

“We are so proud of our musicians at Monroe!” said Music Teacher Megan Duena. Monroe restarted the band program in 2021, after the school returned to in-person instruction. The program has grown to five full classes of band. The students receive daily instruction on reading music and playing instruments. Thanks to the support of the Monroe Middle School band booster program, students also benefit from regular small group instruction provided by outside professionals. 

The dedication and hard work invested in the program have resulted in some students receiving superior ratings at solo and ensemble festivals, showcasing the high quality of musical education at Monroe.
