Every student will need the same band shoes. If your student has shoes from last season and they still fit then feel free to use them. If not you will need to place an order for new shoes. We will NOT be placing a bulk order this year.
Please go to Band Shoes Link to Order to order band shoes. This is where you can order your student’s band shoes.
Sizing is based on your student’s sneaker size. The deadline for your student to bring them into school is Wednesday, 9/6/2023.
Students will be eating from 5-6pm. Then at 6pm – Parents and families are welcome. Please make every effort to attend. The DSMA board and committee members will be presenting various topics and important information for the marching band season.
Parent and Family preview show will start at 7:30pm on the hill.
All ads and order forms must be submitted digitally no later than Monday, September 18. Payments can be made using the DSMA payment page, cash, or check. Please read the attached Ad Book Parent Letter for more information.
Remember you can ask your favorite businesses to place an ad!
All proceeds from the selling of the Ad Book go directly to the DSMA Scholarship Fund. You earn 25% of the ad price for your child’s assessment account which can be put towards the cost of music trips (New Jersey in November!). The remaining 75% of the ad price goes to the Scholarship Fund. Placing an ad in the Ad Book is one of the requirements to be eligible for a scholarship. It can be any size/price ad. Students need to participate for 3 years, one of those being senior year.
The shop is currently open and will be through 11/26/23. Orders must be placed by Thanksgiving if folks want items for Christmas. Orders may be chosen to be sent to the school or directly to your home for an extra fee. Please contact Andrea Moniz with any questions.
