Mission Viejo High School Instrumental Music Boosters Association (MVHSIMBA)
The purpose of MVHSIMBA is to promote and support the Mission Viejo High School Instrumental Music program. MVHSIMBA provides the funding and labor required and deemed appropriate by the Instrumental Music Faculty and the membership of MVHSIMBA. Groups supported include Marching Band & Color Guard, Concert Ensembles (String Orchestra, Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Orchestra), Winter Guard, Winter Drumline, Jazz Band, and any other instrumental or related music group established at Mission Viejo High School.
All parents and guardians of a student enrolled in an MVHS Instrumental Music program are automatically given membership into MVHSIMBA. MVHSIMBA provides support for the Instrumental Music program in numerous ways, including volunteering for the many jobs needed to keep programs going, and fundraising to financially support all elements of the program.
MVHSIMBA meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month, at 7:00 pm in the MVHS music room. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Minutes of recent meetings and financial reports are available upon request.

Mission Viejo High School Instrumental Music Boosters Board
Much of the success behind the music program comes from the commitment of parents through the Booster organization, who selflessly volunteer their time and energy to keep our programs and students supported, funded, and organized. The following lists the current 2024-2025 Board Members. There is always plenty of opportunities for you to help with the programs.
