School has yet to begin, but the band has had a busy week of activities.
On Tuesday morning of last week, the band and color guard presented the “National Anthem” for the annual teacher convocation. Every district employee is typically in attendance and we are also celebrating the 90th anniversary of DPISD!
Tuesday evening, we had our first band booster club meeting of the year. It was great seeing so many parents in attendance at this meeting. Booster club meetings are the second Tuesday of the month, so if you missed this one, we will see you at the next.
Last Friday, we had our “band family picnic”. Lots of food and fun was had at the new Dow Park facility.  Always great visiting with parents and students,
“Meet the Team” night went well once we got past the lightning alerts. The band made a great showing as they performed the National Anthem to kick-off the event.
We also hosted our first TIFI concessions. Thank you to the new parents and students who stepped up to help work concessions. Lots of opportunities are still available. Use the “Sign-up” link on the band website to volunteer for concession help.

The 2019 Fall schedule for volunteer opportunity has been posted on the SignUp link. Please visit the Deer Park High School Band home page at http://dphsband.org/ to access the link to review the dates available for volunteer hours.
 

The Band Booster Club helps raise money for band expenses throughout the year and our top revenue event is running the concessions at Deer Park Abshier Stadium. The concessions are open during all home games for Varsity, Junior Varsity and Freshman Football, TIFI Little League Football, Boys Varsity and Junior Varsity Soccer and DPHS Graduation. This is an opportunity for band students and parents to volunteer a few hours to help out during these events. As an extra bonus, volunteers will earn a $10 charms credit for each shift worked which will be applied to the student account. This is a great way to earn credits towards band and color guard fees. If you have any questions, please contact Gracie at groyall@comcast.net

We appreciate your time and commitment to the Deer Park High School Band Booster Club and look forward to working with each of you!
