<DIV>Hi Everyone,</DIV>
<DIV>The DHS band trip to San Diego is fast approaching. Info for students
interested in submitting designs for the trip tee shirt will be coming soon, and
rooming/bus sign ups will be happening in March. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is a reminder that we are now collecting the <STRONG>1st installment
of $250.</STRONG> You may make checks payable to DHS Band Boosters, and
mail them to the band mail box, (PO Box 73522, Davis, CA
95617), send it to the trip box at school or even hand it to John Horn at
Play-A-Thon this Friday night. We are hoping for all installments
to be in by this <STRONG><EM><U>Friday, January
20th</U></EM></STRONG>. We appreciate everyone getting this in on time, as
we are now starting to make payments to various places for this trip.

2nd (final) installment date. </DIV>
