RETROFEST: RISE OF MTV APRIL 30, MAY 1-2 THURS 7pm, FRI 7pm, SAT 1pm, 7pm HBUHSD Historic Auditorium In the bygone era before the internet and content streaming, people first heard new music on the radio and occasionally saw their favorite artists on broadcast television.
Then came the dawn of Cable TV and with it the promise of over 100 channels of content. When MTV started broadcasting in the summer of 1981, music fans had a new way of appreciating their favorite music - visually. The artists suddenly had to rely on not just their musical abilities, but they had to be photogenic, too.
The concept turned the music business on its head and for the next two decades, new hit artists and songs were mostly made on television. Music Television. Presented by APA’s MMET Popular Music, MMET Media, Costume Design, and Technical Theatre Students.

The March of Dimes will host its signature event, March for Babies, on Saturday, MAY 2ND, 2026, at the thrilling Wild Rivers Waterpark, bringing together almost 500 participants in support of maternal and infant health.
As the nation’s oldest charitable walk, March for Babies unites families, healthcare leaders, corporate partners, and local communities across more than 70 events nationwide. Orange County March for Babies is one of the region’s largest community-driven fundraising efforts supporting research, education, advocacy, and programs that help moms and babies get the best possible start.
The event will feature leading healthcare and corporate partners, including MemorialCare, Rady Children’s Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, UCI Health, and Wild Rivers Waterpark. Attendees will experience a high-energy, family-friendly morning with hospital teams, ambassador families, and community activations throughout the venue.
Despite medical advances, the United States remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, with stark disparities in outcomes for families of color. Funds raised through March for Babies support critical efforts to improve maternal and infant health outcomes nationwide.
EVENT LEADERSHIP: Dr. Minal Meht, Ob-Gyn (Event Chair)
AMBASSADOR FAMILY: The Phakousonh Family. Baby Remy was diagnosed with Pierre Robin Sequence—a rare condition that affects a baby’s airway, jaw, and ability to feed safely. Multiple surgeries, three months at the hospital and lifesaving care helped Remy achieve milestones that seemed out of reach. Remy’s parents are grateful to the doctors and nurses of the NICU, as well as the March of Dimes for the support they received there, which allows Remy to thrive today.
Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, 7:30 AM event opens, 9:00 AM walk begins
Wild Rivers Waterpark, 10000 Great Park Blvd., Irvine, CA 92618
Funds raised support research, advocacy, education, and programs that improve outcomes for moms and babies. In the U.S., approximately 700 women die each year from pregnancy-related complications. Two babies die every hour, and 1 in 10 babies is born preterm.
