DSM Music Clubs

The DSM Choir is open to all students at DSM and meets every Monday at lunch. The choir typically performs in 2-3 concerts per year alongside the bands.

No experience is necessary; just a desire to sing and work hard. This group focuses on building fundamental vocal technique while exploring a variety of music styles.

The DSM Jazz Band is an extra-curricular group for students currently enrolled in one of the DSM band classes. The Jazz Band meets every Friday after school from 3:20-4:30PM. Occasionally rehearsals are moved to Monday or Wednesday on weeks where there is a Friday event or holiday. There is a rotating sectional each week on Tuesday at lunch from 12:30-12:55PM (Rhythm, Saxes, Trumpets, Trombones).

The DSM Jazz Band typically performs at a larger number of events, including 3-4 concerts, community events and other non-music events at the school. This group focuses on building from the techniques learned in band while expanding the students' experience with a wide variety of additional musical styles such as swing, latin, rock, and funk.

The DSM Tech Club's purpose is to train students to set up and operate all aspects of the school's technical equipment to help with school events.
