The Burbank High School’s Vocal Music Association held their biggest fundraiser of the year, ‘The Night Of Magic Gala’, held at The Pickwick Gardens for the fifteenth year.   The evening started of with a silent auction with hundreds of items donated, including trips for two to all ends of the globe, helicopter rides over Los Angeles, and gift baskets containing everything from jewelery to CD’s, makeup, sports items and more.

Members of the different music groups preformed for the 350 plus guests in attendance. The night included a couple of ‘Live Auctions’ with guest auctioneer and former school Principal Bruce Osgood, who was in rare form as he pushed trips, artworks, and even a pet ‘Toto’.  During the evening the Choir Director presented Joshua Greene with a presentation thanking him for all his music and talent charts and more throughout the years. This marks the 10th year Brett Carroll has been with Burbank High as Vocal Music instructor. The choirs now get ready for their Holiday Music Spectacular to be held in December.
