OXNARD, Calif. – The Oxnard High School Marching Band is raising money to prevent music and color guard instructor cuts.

OHS yellowjackets created a poster that reads "Save Our Swarm."

The program seeks donations and corporate sponsorships.

If the marching band can find 40 families to give $250 each, the music program can thrive.

The program is known for hosting a regional marching band competition.

The competition is scheduled to be held on Saturday, Nov. 13, this year.
