Mr. Flint would like to meet with any parents/guardians who have offered to help design and build the props for this year’s show on Wednesday, July 28 at 4:30 pm after that day’s mini-camp rehearsal. If you are able to attend, please email Russ Benoit russbenoit@dsmahome.org.
Shoe sizing and ordering
We will be assisting winds & percussion students with shoe sizing before each mini band camp rehearsal next week, July 27-29.
Parents will be available to help students and will send home a slip of paper with any student who wants to try on shoes so parents/guardians will know what size to order.
Total costs for shoes will be $36, which includes shipping directly to the high school via freight carrier. PLEASE HAVE ALL SHOES ORDERED ON THE DSMA WEBSITE BY SUNDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 1!
We will be ordering with American Bands on Monday August 2, and unfortunately we will not be able to accommodate late orders. The shoes are expected to be delivered within 1 week of our placing the order.
Any older students with some of the white Drill Master shoes who can loan them to the DSMA during mini-camp so other students can try them on to determine sizing should contact Sue Benoit suebenoit@dsmahome.org to arrange a time to drop them off with Mrs. Benoit. Thank you in advance!
Volunteers needed for concession stand
In order to get the food stand opened, we need help to get it cleaned up!
Ken Richard, our Concessions Chair, plans to be at the stand Saturday, July 31 from 9 am-11 am to get things ready for the Cadets performance. Anyone who is able to lend a hand to help clean is more than welcome to come!
We will also need some volunteers to help run the stand for a few hours on August 2 in the late afternoon/early evening. If you are able to help clean or would like to volunteer to help during the Cadets performance, please email Ken directly kenrichard@dsmahome.org.
