STUDENT STAFF



Emma Cai


Winter Guard Director



Emma Cai is a sophomore at Mission San Jose High School. This is her first year with TBC, and she plays the flute. Emma’s dream place to live in is China because the food is so good and there is cheap takeout. There is an endless variety of food and activities. If Emma was a time traveler, she would want to go to the future to see how much the world has changed. If Emma could speak one animal language fluently, she would choose the cat species because then she would be able to communicate with her cats.

About Us





The Tri-City Band Corps Opulents Program winter guards are based in the Bay Area. This program is designed for junior high students as well as students who attend high schools without their winter guard programs. We are extremely excited to have such a strong team of instructors to work with our members. Our program will be competing in the CCGC circuit.
