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!

Be on the lookout for our silly socks! This fundraiser will run from Monday, November 30 through Monday, December 14, and is the perfect way to find gifts for that “hard to shop for” person on your list. We’ll share a link to the online store where you can view and buy all the available socks, which will be shipped to your home.
