The Union Tribune in a February 8, 2007 article about the San Diego Symphony had this to say: "The San Marcos school received a $3,000 grant from Advocates for Classical Music, a non-profit group in San Diego, to buy tickets for yesterday's Young People's Concert. The school serves a large number of children from low-income families and many English-language learners."

Here are some of the children enjoying the concert.
