New DFMS Band

Dutch Fork Middle School serves over one-thousand 7th and 8th graders and is located in Lexington School District Five. The DFMS band program involves more than 250 students which are divided into six classes. Our band performs in concerts, pep rallies, school events and more. The DFMS band has won many awards over the past several years and is considered among the best in South Carolina.

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.
