Mission

The Bullpup Music Booster is dedicated to enriching the educational journey of student musicians at Martinez Junior High School. We provide essential resources, advocate for music education, and create opportunities for artistic growth. By partnering with educators, families, and the broader community, we strive to foster a lifelong love of music, spark creativity, and inspire excellence in every student. Our commitment ensures that the instrumental music program remains a vibrant and inclusive cornerstone of the school’s culture. 

Martinez Junior High School is a Title I public middle school where the music program plays a pivotal role in enriching the educational experiences of its students. A Title I school is a designation under the U.S. Elementary and Secondary Education Act that provides federal funding to schools with a high percentage of students from low-income families. The goal of Title I funding is to ensure that all children, regardless of their economic background, have access to a quality education and can meet state academic standards. Currently, the music program serves an estimated 30% of the student population and has experienced remarkable growth in the last couple years. Despite this incredible progress, the program faces significant challenges due to very limited funding support from the school district.
