After not being able to play indoors for 378 days, we've finally been given the green light to resume! Of course, it must be done safely. Head over to the Wind Ensemble page to read the list of precautionary measures being taken to ensure everyone's safety.
Dumont High School has numerous opportunities for students to perform and learn about music. All current 8th-11th grade students are encouraged to check out the virtual brochure to learn more!
Tomorrow during our Wind Ensemble class we will have a virtual clinic with Master Gunnery Sergeant Duane F. King of "The President's Own" United States Marine Band. He will be speaking with our students about the "Dynamics of Peer Leadership". The students will also have an opportunity to ask MGySgt King questions about his musical career and role in the Marine Band. Please remind your student-musician that we will begin class at 8:05 AM instead of the usual 8:15 AM.

The 2021 band camp will be held from Monday, August 2nd through Friday, August 6th. Please block out these dates immediately as they are mandatory for all marching band members!
