Seventy Two Degrees  - Building a community out of water and music.

Welcome to the home of Seventy Two Degrees.  We are a fledgling organization with a mission: To promote the appreciation of art, music, and the natural resources in San Marcos, TX.  We are lucky to live in such an oasis- It is our belief that the artistic culture thriving in San Marcos is directly related to the ecology of this area.

San Marcos’ natural resources are directly related to it’s human resources. Both MUST be protected.

There are already a number of organizations dedicating their time and resources to the preservation of the natural resources in San Marcos (see: San Marcos River Foundation, San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance, etc.)  We don’t aim to directly engage with conservation issues but rather to highlight the good work taking place in our community, thus promoting conservation through appreciation and awareness.  It is our hope to act as a proponent  for the beauty of San Marcos in the natural sense and the cultural, through events, contests, hikes, awards, etc.  So how else do we make a positive contribution to this community?  Luckily we ARE this community! – and we can discuss that very topic and others here on this website.  Visit the Forum and join us in the discussion!

The music culture in San Marcos has a long tradition, and grows in size and influence everyday.  We feel it is time to stand up and recognize what we have, and to promote it.  The hard work and creativity of our musicians has historically allowed  them to venture out to surrounding communities and markets causing them to inadvertently become ambassadors for San Marcos.  Musicians help San Marcos by increasing tourism, notoriety, and ultimately the quality of life which in turn helps attract businesses and job growth.  How can we help grow the music industry in San Marcos for the benefit of everyone?
