Important Updates For DGN Band Families

As we suddenly are headed towards our late fall/winter season of concerts and activities, we have several reminders and scheduling details to be aware of. Please read through the following carefully:
Marching Band Members – Last Football Game - The call-time for Friday's game is 5:30 PM. Students will be asked to change directly into uniforms and be on the EAST Practice Field by 5:45 PM for warm-ups and a final run-thru before the game. Students may want to wear a warm layer under their uniforms but nothing bulky that will make it difficult for the uniform to fit. JEANS ARE NOT TO BE WORN UNDER THE UNIFORM! The weather is predicted to get a bit colder than the summer-like weather we’ve been enjoying, but looks like it will stay dry!

Marching Band Members and Sports Exemption Students - Band-O-Rama  Our annual indoor marching band concert will be held next week on Tuesday in the Purple Gym at 7PM. Sports Exemption Students - You are required to attend this concert to support your Marching Band colleagues. There will be an attendance clip-board to sign in on. If your team or sport has a competition/game/match that evening that would make it impossible to attend Band-O-Rama, please speak with Mr. Teague or Mr. Miller THIS WEEK to discuss. Marching Band Students - We will rehearse (out of uniform, but in black socks/marching band shoes) from 5:30-6:30 PM on Tuesday. We will then change into uniforms. We will NOT be wearing Shakos. We will be speaking with Leadership Team and Band Board members more this week about decorating and setting up the Gym from 3:30-5:30 on Tuesday. Thanks in advance for your help!

Florida Tour Participants – Our rehearsal with Mr. Gary Smith is next week, on Wednesday at 3:00 PM. Attendance is mandatory. Have you been practicing at home? Have you been receiving our email updates? (last topics sent were a Last Call for Medical Forms, and a Music Rehearsal Follow-Up. You must be signed up to receive email updates and we encourage you to subscribe to get text messages/follow the tour on Twitter. Details were in the blue packet.
