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!

Pancake breakfast tickets WILL be available at the door!

Posted on by DSMAwebmaster in DSMA News, fundraiser

Our Pancake Breakfast is tomorrow morning from 8AM-11AM at Dartmouth High School. Some family members and music supporters let us know that they weren’t able to get tickets from band students in time, so we WILL have tickets available at the door. 

So if you didn’t get a ticket, you can still come on by the high school to have a delicious breakfast for just $8! Pancakes, sausage, bacon, coffee, milk, and OJ… yum!!! 

We hope to see you there, and thank you for helping support the music program here in Dartmouth.

Our Yard Sale is quickly approaching! As part of all the wonderful items and crafts for sale from our participants, the DSMA will also be selling a variety of costumes and props formerly used in our shows, many of which are still brand new. If you know of a local theater group, drama club, or dance studio that might be interested, please let them know!

We’ll be taking over the parking lot at Dartmouth Middle School on Saturday, August 19 from 8AM-2PM to help raise money for the DSMA. Spread the word to help support our students. 

We will have over 15 families there selling their items as well as a box truck filled with donated items the DSMA will be selling!

We will be grilling burgers & hotdogs, chips & drinks for anyone to purchase.

The students/ parents will also have a bake sale table, so come by and get a sweet treat!

We’d like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has signed up for the yard sale, and also to everyone who has donated items for the DSMA to sell in order to help raise funds for our kids! There is still time to register for your own space for just $25 – contact Tim Enos to reserve it today.

Thank you in in advance for your continued support!
