It is so nice to be able to plan for Spring tours and festival performances again!  That being said, there is a lot going on in DHS Music this semester;  if at any point you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

DHS Band Society:

The next meeting of the DHS Band Society will be Wednesday, February 8th at 7 PM in the DHS Music Room.

Fundraising:

Your student should be bringing home information on the Mom's Pantry fundraiser, which will be starting this week.  Orders must be returned by Wednesday, February 15th.

There is also a bottle drive planned for Monday, February 13th.  Students and parents wanting to take part should meet in the foyer of DHS at 5:30 PM to sign in and receive routes.
