What is needed for Band Class?
On DAY 1 of class you will need to have your instrument, a black - 1 inch - 3 ring binder, 10-12 sheet protectors, and notebook paper. You will be provided a scale sheet and fingering/trill charts. This year all band members are asked to pay a $30 "fair share" to assist in up-keep of our school instruments and pay for music. This can be paid any time during the first two weeks of school. (checks can be made to the Davie High Band Boosters) Also, you are encouraged to purchase a personal tuner. This is not a requirement but it is highly encouraged. Tuners can be ordered from Mr. Jimeson or purchased at Separk Music, The Music Center or Counterpoint Music in Mocksville. You can also download tuners to your smartphones.

Music for the quarter will be handed out in class. It needs to be placed into sheet protectors inside your binder with your pencil or expo pen.

Each student will be assigned an instrument locker on the first day of school. A list of students last names and locker numbers will be posted outside the band room door. The band room will be open by 7:30am each day for students to put instruments up before school begins.

What do we wear to our Concerts?
Concert Band & Symphonic Band members have a “Concert Black” requirement for concerts. For Men that is a button-up, long sleeve, dress shirt, a black belt, black shoes, and black slacks. For Ladies, black dress pants and a black blouse and black shoes. New Wind Ensemble members that do not currently have a tuxedo or formal dress will be sized for those items during the first couple weeks of school. The cost of the formal dress for ladies is $60. These will be ordered in September. The base cost for the tuxedo for gentlemen is $130. You must go to Christopher's Formal Wear in the Thruway Shopping Center in Winston-Salem before mid-September to get your tuxedo.
