GOODBYE TO OUR SENIORS -  posted 05/31/19
What a special class of seniors!!! This group has witnessed and taken part in some of the greatest milestones of our band's history.  Whether it was witnessing the largest group of all-district band members in school history, performing in Washington D.C. with the US Army Band, entertaining millions in the Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parade, or traveling across Europe in 2017, this senior class has definitely made a lasting impact on the DHS Band program! Thank you, Seniors, for your hard work, dedication, and devotion to YOUR band.  Thank you for "exceeding the expectations of the past and setting the standard for the future!" We are certainly going to miss you!

A SPECIAL THANK YOU!!!-  posted 05/31/19
I wanted to take a moment to say a special THANK YOU to all of the band parents that have helped out this year! I was recently made aware that I am the only band director in western North Carolina teaching a band of our size by myself. I misspoke at the banquet...next year we have 194 students signed up for band at Davie High. I simply cannot do it on my own. Having parent volunteers and booster members like you certainly helps! Thank you to the band booster board for all your work this year. You have been crucial in the success of the band!
