BAND CONCERT HELP:
Concert season is upon us and we will have our first opportunities to hear what our musicians have been working on in class, starting next week with a jazz concert. We have traditionally offered a reception of light refreshments after student concerts and are are hoping to be able to continue to do this.
If you would be willing to help take care of these simple set ups and breakdowns please let me know. We are looking for about 4 to 6 parents who would divide the small workload based on which ensemble their student(s) play in. This is a great way to get involved with the band program and is a very small time commitment. Please consider volunteering your time for this so that we do not have to give up on this tradition which the students really enjoy.
A request for donations of baked goods will be send out in the next few days for the jazz concert on Wednesday, November 6th. Another will follow for the concerts by the concert band ensembles on November 12th and 14th.

DGS BAND BOOSTER BOARD OPENINGS
The DGS Band Boosters are currently looking to fill the position of Secretary. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Hensel. This position is an immediate need.
Secondly, we are in need of someone to shadow our current Treasurer. This is a position that requires bookkeeping skills. Experience would be preferred, but not a requirement. This is a shadow position, so you would have a year to learn the job.
Thank you for considering being involved with the DGS Band Program!
