The Milpitas Youth Advisory Commission presents the City of Milpitas Talent show, "Milpitas' Got Talent."
This city-wide talent show hopes to bring together the youth of Milpitas on a common ground, self-expression through art. All the youth of the city ranging from ages 12-21 are encouraged to audition to show off their talents in a friendly yet competitive competition for $100.
Acts will consist of bands, dance groups, hip-hop groups, singers, acoustic music groups, and solo instrumentals. All ticket sale proceeds will go to our charity of choice, Child Advocates of Silicon Valley.

My project educated elementary students on basic music theory and gave them a hands-on experience with a variety of band and orchestra instruments played by members of the high school concert bands and orchestra. Along with that, it educated junior high students on basic marching techniques, with the help of the Fighting Cardinal Marching Band, and allowed the students to listen to college students and the high school director speak on their experiences being in high school and college bands, and what band will be like in high school for the students.

The Sound of Silence in California Schools
“Our schools tend to refine intellects but neglect to discipline emotions. For anyone to grow up complete, music is imperative”– Paul Harvey: Broadcaster/Commentator.
When you validate the imagination of a child something amazing happens. Low self esteem disappears, and collaboration builds team work. The impact is not only from the music curriculum- it is the instilled wonder, playfulness, and imagination the arts build to help students find importance in society.

I work with the Rio District Boys and Girls Club After School Programs, and we have put together 300 students together who show an interest in the music arts! Every student was accepted and they could choose Choir, Orchestra, or both. The students after school programs involved academic and enrichment programs and receive the arts all at no cost to the parents. This program is especially important to me because there are so many underprivileged children in my community.

My name is Stephanie Gerber and I am a student at Brigham Young University. I'm starting a humanitarian aid project called "Music in Mexico". through this project, I hope to enhance music programs for low-income schools in parts of Mexico by providing instruments, supplies, and proper instruction from qualified teachers. I believe that by giving these children the opportunity to learn a skill, as well as have fun while discovering their potential, we can make a difference in their lives as they strive to be their best.
