  MPA Retreat is a REQUIRED and GRADED event. This is when we pay to bring in professionals on every instrument and 3 full ensemble clinicians to help us refine our MPA music. This will take place on Saturday, February 10 from 11:30-4:00 PM. Please eat lunch before coming to DCHS.

• MPA
  Music Performance Assessment (MPA) is the state wide assessment for our bands. We go to Lenoir Rhyne University and perform for a panel of judges, who will then give us a rating. These performances will take place in a window of time. The window is March 13-15. More information will be provided in the next few weeks.
  
  
• Marching Band Uniforms and Instruments
  All marching band uniforms and instruments should be turned in by now. This is so that we can get all of them cleaned and repaired.

1. We are in need of Coke products, Cheerwine, and Bottled Water donations for All District Concessions. If you know managers at local businesses or you are willing to donate, please let us know.

2. We are putting together a committee (4-5 people) to plan our first annual "Davie Band Day" benefit concert fundraiser on Saturday, April 27th. We are in need of students and parents for event planning and for reaching out to large businesses for sponsorships. Please email Ann if you are willing to participate on this committee.

If you are willing to with these things, please reach out to Ann Wilson (Band Booster President) at daviebandpresident@gmail.com.

Come back soon.

All uniforms, shoes, and shakos should be turned in this week. We will go through and make sure that each uniform has been returned. If your child has not turned in their items, please have them do so by tomorrow.

There are several opportunities to help out during the year. Please see our Signup Genius!
