Gillette 2025/2026 fundraising events open!
We have officially kicked off our 2025/2026 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.
