From Mr. Woods:

Hello Tiger Band Family,

The Varsity Winterguard competed in their final regular season competition at Georgetown HS at the TCGC Area Contest. As the TCGC Scholastic National A Class Champions, their score qualifies them to move on to TCGC SNA Class State Championships on April 6th at Reed Arena in College Station, TX. Way to go Guard! If you're not available to make the trip to College Station, join us on April 5th at 7:00pm in the DSHS Comp Gym for State Send-Off performances by the JV and Varsity Winterguards.

Dessert Social at the Jazz Concert

On Tuesday, April 2nd, DSHS Tiger Band will be hosting a dessert social in the courtyard - auditorium lobby if raining - during and after the combined MS and HS Jazz Concert. We hope all jazz and non-jazz families will attend to support our jazz bands and enjoy an evening of lively music.

Please join us for some refreshments and welcome our middle school families. This will be a great opportunity for them to learn about the life skills and lifelong friendships that our students develop by being part of the DSHS Tiger Band. Please be on the lookout for a volunteer signup for both adults and students as we will need help with setup and cleanup.

Thank you,

Jennifer Verhulst

DSBB SSMS Liaison
