🎶 Saratoga Music Boosters - 50 Years Celebration!

Saratoga Music Boosters (SMB) supports SUSD's band, orchestra, and Redwood Middle School music programs. At Argonaut Elementary, SMB provides 5th grade Band & Strings AKA “Beginning Instrumental Music Exploratory.”

 

Founded in 1974, SMB has been a vehicle to help realize our music directors’ visions to grow the music programs offered in SUSD schools and Saratoga High School into the world-renowned music program it is today!
