Happy Summer!

noreply@blogger.com (Kelan) — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 15:34:00 +0000

Hello Everyone,

Hope you all are having a great summer so far. This is Kelan Graddy, the Sophomore Mellophone, and I am the webmaster for this band site! I'll be adding the dates for summer rehearsals as well as fall events such as Band Camp, competitions, and football games. If you have anything band related, like photos and videos from previous years, please e-mail them to me at kelan@dhsband.org! Things like that are much needed and would look great on this site! I will also be working with Mr. Lundin to get all important sheet music for each instrument in each band up on the Login page down at the bottom of the screen. This will be password protected, but the password will be given out to all band members at Band Camp this summer. Come back often for updates on everything "DHS Band".
