March like a lion

It's already March?! Time flies when your having fun and these students have been hard at work and being goofy getting ready for their Spring Concerts. There are a lot of dates to keep on your radar for this month. Here goes:

March 26 DMS Spring Concert 7pm at DCHS Auditorium.

Shew! Busy month! Please encourage students to practice frequently. Just like learning to throw a ball, you only improve with practice. It is wonderful to watch them evolve as performers. From finally learning how to put their instruments together to creating music. They need all the encouragement to be the best they can be!

Be sure to look ahead on the calendar for dates coming up in April and May.
