For me, the summer is a great for spending a little extra time with family and recharging the batteries as we gear up for another outstanding Marching Band season.  I still spend quite a bit of time at DCHS.  The absence of students somehow makes getting work done a lot easier! 

I hope all of our band members are finding ways to be productive this summer.  I know our percussionists and guard members are!  They've been practicing every Monday since the beginning of May so their skills won't be rusty come band camp.  Almost all of our trumpet players and many of our clarinetists are taking private lessons through the summer - these guys will firing on on cylinders when those All-District / All-State Auditions roll around.

Enough can't be said about what a gift private lessons can be for a student musician.  The one-on-one attention theyu get is unmatched at helping them to improve on their instrument.  It's amazing the effect lessons can have on their enjoyment of making music and the confidence it brings them as performers (and as people).  Check out our private lesson teacher
