Activity Donation
Just as with sports, drama, choir, and other before- or after-school activities at DMS, there is no dedicated school budget for Jazz Band. For that reason we ask that each student make an activity donation contribution of $120 to participate in the DMS Choir. This financial contribution helps offset the cost of the instructor, piano accompanist, and purchasing supplies and new music.
