AN UPDATE FROM THE JUNE 2, 2009 BOOSTER MEETING

Dear Band Parents and Students,

The Meeting of the Dutch Fork Band Booster on June 2nd was amazing to say the least! It was wonderful to see so many people walk into the bandroom! We had well over 125 parents in attendance. The topics discussed were many. At the conclusion of the meeting, we had a much better informed and much more excited group of parents!

If any one has questions, please contact Mr. Brady directly at 803-476-3439 or email: Jon Brady.

Dutch Fork Middle School Band - Mission Statement

It is the mission of the DFMS band program to develop and prepare students to become creative individuals who are respectful, responsible, caring and well-adjusted. A direct result of the DFMS band experience is improved self-discipline, self-esteem, confidence and group cooperation.

Band students at DFMS will receive quality instruction based on the national and state standards for music education. The unique educational demands of instrumental music serve as preparation for dealing with many of the challenges people encounter all through life. Students gain valuable life skills in addition to a lifelong appreciation for the creative process and performance of music.
