Gillette 2024/2025 fundraising events open!

We have officially kicked off our 2024/2025 Gillette fundraising season!

The DSMA raises over $50,000 annually at Gillette Stadium, which helps cover nearly half of the total amount we need to raise every year to support our programs. Every student benefits from Gillette shifts – if your student is in any of the performing groups, especially those at DHS, then you should be volunteering for at least one shift per season to help raise funds.

Volunteers also earn $50 per shift towards student assessment accounts. So you get money attributed to your student, while helping to reduce overall costs for all of our music groups that need to travel, compete, etc.

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR A SHIFT AND TO SEE WHO HAS CURRENTLY SIGNED UP!

Annual Pops Concert – 2024 Honoree Yvette Nunes

A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Madrigale and Mr. Kingsland for joining us at tonight’s Pops Concert. Together, with Mr. Flint, they represent over 50 years of music directorship at Dartmouth Public Schools.

In what is truly a testament to our honoree’s devotion to the DPS music program, all three have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Mrs. Yvette Nunes as a volunteer, DPS staff member and overall supporter of music education.

After all, “It’s for the kids!”
