This project will also help provide the needed support for Pleasanton Community Concert Band (PCCB) to present performances of varied, international musical genres, which, in turn, will be part of our outreach to attract new audiences from Pleasanton's own diverse population, and will encourage new musicians from the community to join us. Our performances and events are often outdoors (Memorial Day, July 4th, Farmer's Market, Pleasanton Block Party). 1. Purchasing new sheet music specifically for 2019/2020 performances and events, 2.

Maintenance and repair of musical instruments and our travel trailer. 4.

More awareness should lead to more participation from the community as audience members, grant application, scholarship application, monetary contribution to our programs, and/or involvement in helping with the programs we provide as PCAC and/or in collaboration with the City, PUSD, and other Arts Organizations. An effective marketing, branding, and community outreach program will assure that a much greater percentage of Pleasanton citizens will become aware of who PCAC is, what we do, and how they can benefit. This could be as a volunteer joining us, as an audience or participant in one of our programs, as a recipient of one of our many scholarships and/or grants, and as a Page 5 of 6
