Mr. Tribuzi is Retiring!

It is hard to believe, but after 31 years as Music Director at San Mateo High School, Mr. Tribuzi has decided to retire!  The SMHS Music Booster Board will be hosting a send-off to celebrate "Mr. T" on May 6, 2023 at the Foster City Recreation Center from 6pm to 10pm.  

The evening will feature appetizers, desserts, a no-host bar, and performances by current and former students.  If you would like to participate in the performances, please contact George Elefante at george@bearcatmusic.org.  

Tickets are required for all attendees and can be purchased at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ts-retirement-party-tickets-528754658417.  Donations are also being accepted for the "Til Tribuzi Music Fund" and donations can be made via the eventbrite link or via Paypal at http://www.bearcatmusic.org/donate.html. 

If you have any questions, photos, or memories of Til that you would like to share, please contact Stacy Jimenez at president@bearcatmusic.org! 

We are looking forward to a fun evening and hope you will join us!

Music Boosters

The San Mateo High School Music Department is gearing up for another year of superb music education with a full and exciting concert and activity schedule. The Music Boosters, a parent volunteer organization providing financial support and advocacy, is an integral part of the ongoing operations of the many groups within the Music Department. Last year, volunteer hours and financial contributions allowed the Concert Band, Jazz Band, Marching Band, Color Guard, Winter Guard, Orchestra, Chorus, Concert Choir, and Chamber Singers to perform and compete throughout the year.
