Maintaining the quality and excellence of the DSHS band programs requires funding for new music, instrument repairs, new instruments, music festival fees, band trips and more. Many of the expenses are above and beyond the scope of a "normal" school program, thus the school district is not able to cover all expenses, so the Band Boosters helps to raise the needed funds. The result is an enhanced experience for all of the students. If you are able, please donate towards this year's band expenses.
The DSHS Band Boosters is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by IRS regulations.
