The Valencia High School Band and Color Guards, Director of Instrumental Music, Kelvin Flores and his Visual and Music Design Team, Lorraine Kohagen have beautifully crafted a captivating program titled “Lunar Embrace”, a 4-part telling of an anonymous poem portraying a romantic and eternal relationship between the Sea and the Moon. The poem is rich with imagery and metaphor, depicting their interaction as a timeless and pure love story.

“We are excited to bring this enriching event to our community,” said Mr. Flores. “It not only highlights the incredible talent and dedication of our local and regional groups but also enhances their performance through innovative clinic sessions led by high-quality adjudicators and clinicians.”

All proceeds support the ongoing fundraising efforts for the Valencia High School music program.
