Donor levels and benefits

For donations of $1,000 and above you will receive an invitation for you and a guest to attend one dress rehearsal so you can "look behind the scenes" and see how Kim and the gang put it all together. These rehearsals are remarkably similar to the shows with lots of fun, banter and great music!

Additionally, starting this year donors of $1,000 and above will receive The California Pops Yearbook, a professionally prepared and produced book with lots of Sam Hue's great photos of the shows, stories from behind the scenes and all the jokes from that season's shows! This is a new venture for the Pops and a wonderful reminder of all the good times we have together!
