One of our marching band alumni makes custom ornaments and is now offering a beautiful DHS Marching Band ornament on her Etsy store!
Even better, she is donating 25% of each DHS band ornament to the DSMA!
To view her ornaments, and customize one for yourself (or for your favorite DHS Marching Band member), simply click over to the HelleyHandmade Etsy store.
Not only will you be helping support music in the Dartmouth Public Schools, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind keepsake ornament for you to treasure for years to come.
Thank you so much to Lauren Helley for helping to continue to support the DSMA. You make our program proud!
The parade tomorrow (10/9/17) in Revere is still on as of this evening. Mr Kingsland notified all marching band and color guard students the other day that the report time has been changed to 9:30AM, NOT 10AM as noted on the itinerary, due to the band being moved up closer to the beginning of the parade.
If the parade organizers opt to cancel the parade due to inclement weather, all families will be notified via email, and we will post the update here on the DSMA website as well as on our Facebook.
If you have any questions, please contact DSMA President Lisa Perry lisaperry@dasmahome.org or DSMA Vice President Dove Furtado dovefutado@dsmahome.org.

The DSMA would like to extend our gratitude to the Bristol County Sheriff’s Department for graciously offering to help provide lighting for our marching band home show on September 30th. The safety of all performing students and attendees is paramount, and the additional lighting the Sheriff’s Department will be providing will allow all the drop off areas and warm up fields around our stadium to be fully lit.
Thank you again for helping make our home show the best experience possible!
