 LABEL YOUR INSTRUMENT CASE - posted 9/3/18
Please be sure that your ​personal instrument has a tag that is labeled  with your name.  Some students have gotten luggage tags from the dollar tree in the past, while others have labeled their cases with printable decals.  Whatever method you prefer, just make sure your instrument is labeled ASAP. 
BAND SPONSORSHIP CHALLENGE - updated August 22, 2018
Our first fundraiser of the year is a our "Band Sponsorship Drive" and it is in FULL SWING!  This will  go through our Fall Concert on October 16th.  Click on the button below to print a copy of the sponsorship form.  Take the form to local businesses in the Davie, Statesville, Clemmons, and Salisbury areas and talk to them about our band. Don't just go in and start begging for money. Let them know about the Davie High School Band program and ask if they would be willing to be a 2018-19 sponsor. After you visit an organization or business, make sure you enter it on the Sign-up Genius Tracker so we don't end up asking them more than once. Also, be sure to check the Tracker before visiting a  business.  The student that brings in the most sponsorships will win a cash prize ranging from $50-$100!
