Registration coming soon!
Students will have the opportunity to sign up for band again next year! We are so excited and would love for EVERYONE to sign up again! If you have any questions or concerns, please always feel free to reach out at info@dmsbands.org.
There are many things to look forward to in Concert and Symphonic Band classes! Students in both Concert and Symphonic Band get to perform at the home DMS football games. All students that are in these classes are eligible to register for the annual spring trip to Orlando as well! There are more performances and all of the same fun from beginner band as well. It's a great thing for your student to be part of!
Students will choose a solo for our solo & ensemble project in the next 2 weeks!
Students who are scheduled to attend space camp will miss the process of music listening and choosing a solo, so please keep an eye on our newsletter and schoology pages for these resources!
To receive the grade in class, students will choose one of three solos provided in class.
Students also have the opportunity to prepare their solo, or other duets and trios, for the Solo and Ensemble Festival, held at LMS on April 6th!! Students can earn a medal at this festival if they receive a superior rating for their performance! It's a lot of fun and a great opportunity for small ensemble playing!
Solo and Ensemble coming up soon!
Students have the opportunity to sign up to perform at the Solo and Ensemble Festival for our district. This year, this event will be at LMS on April 6th!
Students prepare (on their own) a solo, duet or trio! Then, they can perform it for a judge at the festival and earn a medal for a superior rating. Highly recommended! There will be a google form registration in the next few weeks. Solo and Ensemble music/materials will be provided in class for the next few weeks and posted in Schoology for reference.
Have your student be thinking about roommates!
4 to a room
Students' hotel roommates ARE their walk-around groups in the parks! Please take this into consideration. They have an assigned seat on the bus they can sit by another different friend if they want, too. Walk-Around groups can also combine! You just need to make sure your student has a good idea of what to expect.
