We have an active DHS Band Booster group. Our main function is to support the DHS band program that is run by Mr. Lange and this year joined by Mr. Quick, two fantastic music educators! We have various fundraisers during the year to help offset the cost of running the music program and to help with the expenses of the Spring Band Trip. Each year, the band takes an educational & performance based trip. This Spring the band will travel to San Diego during the last part of April. The trip committee is run by Katie Horn and meetings for that will be starting shortly. In years past we have rotated between San Diego, Disneyland and Victoria, Canada, ensuring that each student is able to attend any and all of the trips that they want to attend. The fundraising is a big part of helping the students to achieve that goal. Financial assistance is also available through the Band Boosters. More about that later.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>As you have seen, in Mr. Lange’s packet of info, there is a PRELIMINARY schedule that was sent home with the students on the first day. That schedule and the other forms are available for you to download and print out at: <a href="http://www.dhsbandboosters.com">www.dhsbandboosters.com</a> , as is other Band Booster information.
