First Day Of School

We hope everyone enjoyed their summer! This is an exciting year for the De Soto Band Program.

Green and White Band
Numbers in the Beginning Band are nearing 80! The band room is going to be packed for our Brass and Percussion class.  To say that we are excited by this "problem" is an understatement.  Over the next couple of days, we will be testing students and placing them on instruments.  All students will know what they will be playing by Tuesday, August 18th.

DJHS Symphonic Band
Mr. Boyer is very excited to begin working with the 8th Grade Band.  You will not need to bring in instruments until Monday.  Tomorrow we will be discussing plans for the upcoming year, policies, and the band handbook.

Instrument Rental Night
Wednesday, August 19th
5:30-7:30PM

Our music dealer, Nottelmann Music will be in the band room for parents to rent or buy instruments.  They will also have supplies like reeds, oil, grease etc.  For parents that already have an instrument, it is advisable that you bring in that instrument to get it checked over and ensure that it is in good working order.


All students please check the Calendar of Events and plan accordingly.
