Local Monterey High School and   Pacific Grove High School Music Programs will Benefit from Six Fundraising   Events hosted by Hyatt Regency Monterey The Monterey Peninsula has a long and successful history of supporting and   nurturing music in local schools. Now the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel &   Spa will add to that legacy with several music-themed fundraisers throughout   2017. This exciting promotion will raise funds for Monterey High School   Instrumental Music Boosters (MHSIMB) and Pacific Grove Music Boosters (PGMB). The yearlong promotion includes two  monthly fundraising opportunities   for each school, as well as— the March Jazz Fling and the November Rocks Jazz   Jam when both Monterey and Pacific Grove  come together for joint   performances. Monterey High School Music   Boosters will be designated April and Sept while Pacific Grove Music Boosters   will have May and Oct. During the months designated for each school, 30 percent of the proceeds from   sales at TusCA Ristorante, Fireplace Lounge and/or Knuckles Sports Bar will   go to that school.  A guest at any of these venues needs only to mention   that they are, for example, “supporting the Monterey High School Music   Boosters” and a donation equaling 30 percent of that patron’s check will be   made by Hyatt Regency Monterey. In addition to the month long fundraising opportunity a dinner performance   will be held from 6-8 p.m. on the first Wednesday during each of the school’s   promotional months, and will feature a performance by the school’s student   musicians inside TusCA Ristorante. 100% percent of the proceeds from that   evening’s TusCA full-menu revenues will go to the school. The March Jazz Fling will be held on Sunday, March 5, 2017, from 5:30-730   p.m., and hosted by the Hyatt Regency Monterey. Pacific Grove and Monterey   high schools will come together to celebrate the talent, hard work and   passion of their student musicians. Ticket prices will be $45 for adults and   $10 for students, inclusive of all taxes and gratuities, with children 5 and   under free. Eighty percent of the proceeds from the sales through the ticket   link will go to that school. Purchase tickets for the March. To kick off the holiday season the November event will be a Battle of the   Cans! to be held on Sunday, November 12th from 5:30 to 7:30pm and   will be a Rocks Jazz Jam and food drive for charity. Student musicians will   put down their school’s music folders and pick up their own sheet music and   perform with their own bands and other projects . Guests will be asked to   bring 10 cans of food to donate to the Food Bank For Monterey County.   Students from each school will jam with their student bands at this fun-filled   musical benefit. Cost is $25 (plus 10 cans), and includes one drink ticket   and small bite.
