The Jazz Band performance and GMEA Solo & Ensemble are this week!

Here’s what you need to know this week.
Congratulations to all the DHS and PMS band students who performed in the Solo & Ensemble Recital last week. Parents and friends enjoyed an evening of wonderful music! The rain interfered with our car wash fundraiser planned for Saturday, but we will reschedule, so stay tuned for a new date.
We would also like to welcome the new DHS Band Booster Board for the 2022-2023 school year. Thank you to everyone who voted, and thank you to our new board members beginning their roles on May 1st!

Advertise for the Mattress Fundraiser. We need funds for music, clinicians and instrument repairs (among other things!), and the Mattress Fundraiser scheduled for April 30 is our big fundraiser for the Spring. All you have to do is advertise! Here is how you can help! 1. Check out THIS VIDEO (dunwoodybands.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e6dcb1443502b7d964068adb&id=d7c13d5003&e=7294eeb7f3) about the Mattress Fundraiser. 2. CLICK on the Facebook Fundraiser and select “GOING”, “INVITE” their friends and “SHARE” our posts. dunwoodybands.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e6dcb1443502b7d964068adb&id=52b1544d8f&e=7294eeb7f3 (dunwoodybands.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e6dcb1443502b7d964068adb&id=675ba3bb80&e=7294eeb7f3) Share on your Facebook Page, your neighborhood facebook page, and any groups you are a part of. 3. Get the word out! Here is a sample blurb you copy and paste: Are you in the market for a new mattress? Next month, we are turning the DHS cafeteria into a Mattress Store, featuring name brand mattresses (ex: Simmons BeautyRest) at prices lower than retail. If you decide to order, a brand new mattress will be delivered to your home in about 3 weeks. It sounds like a crazy fundraiser, but it’s a win-win, you get a quality mattress at a good price, and the Dunwoody Band Program raises funds to buy music and instruments for our kiddos. Click below for details! It’s worth stopping by if you need a new mattress, pillow, mattress pads, etc. dunwoodybands.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e6dcb1443502b7d964068adb&id=1ebd3ee49c&e=7294eeb7f3 (dunwoodybands.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e6dcb1443502b7d964068adb&id=95ed2a5268&e=7294eeb7f3) 4. ASK your student to bring home some fliers and yard signs – Ms. Caputo has plenty in the band room! Put the sign in your yard, at a local high traffic business (with permission), at the entrance to your neighborhood or pool/tennis club, at your church or synagogue, anywhere where the community will see them.
