Dear Marching Band, Color Guard, and Dance Team parents,

The Discovery Football Team is holding their annual Chicken Dinner Fundraiser on November 1st. All proceeds of this fundraiser will go to their general fund.

This happens to be on the same day our award winning Marching Band is headed for their big competition in Chattanooga, TN. Their rehearsal in the morning ends at 10:30 am and they’re expected back in the band room by 12:30 pm for departure to Chattanooga at 1:00 pm.

For $ 8.00 per plate you will receive a leg quarter, baked beans, potato salad & roll.

This is a great way to support our future football players as well as not have to cook on a busy day.

The plates can be picked up at your convenience on November 1st at Discovery Middle School between 11:00 am — 2:00 pm (right after you pick up your student from rehearsal?) for your family to enjoy at home or…….

…..I offer to deliver the plates to those students who decide to stay in the band room between rehearsal and departure, and make sure everyone gets a bottle of water with their lunch.

To order tickets please place correct $ amount (cash, or check made out to DMS, incl. driver’s license and 2 phone numbers) in an envelope marked “Chicken Dinner, your student’s name, number of tickets and if a ticket is to be held back for delivery in the band room).

In order to guarantee your lunch, all orders have to be in the booster box in the band room by Thursday, October 23. Tickets will be handed out to students on Monday, October 27.

Thank you for your time and help.

Here’s to hoping these boys will guarantee us playoff home games in the future!

Good Morning!

As you know we are planning March on Madison that will take place on Tuesday, October 21st. It is a fun night and also an opportunity to raise money for our band. In order to increase our profit in the concession stand we are asking for donations of cans of pop (or whatever you call your favorite carbonated beverage). This is not a requirement so please do not feel obligated if you are not able. It is just a way to make a little bit of extra money as we pay more for drinks in the concession stand than any other product we sell.

If you are able we need Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Sierra Mist only. Bring it to the band room by Monday, October 20th. Please only bring these Pepsi products.

And please remember that we need concession stand volunteers for March on Madison. Please sign up ASAP.

Thank you so much for your help!

I know our schedule is crazy right now so I thought I would send some reminders.

STUDENTS: Remember to bring everything you need for the game tomorrow to school. Report to the band room at the beginning of 4th block. We are leaving at 1:30pm. REMEMBER TO BRING $2 for pizza (put in band box).

COMPETITION BAND: check the rehearsal schedule for Friday and Saturday in my previous email.

FOOTBALL BAND: Per the email I sent last night, remember we have a joint rehearsal with DMS in prep for March on Madison. It will be Monday from 5:00-5:30 at our field. Then NO REHEARSAL the day of March on Madison, just our performances. I’ll be sending more details soon on performance order and other logistics.

Ok, I think that’s it for now. Please stay on top of things these next few weeks. Stay informed! Thanks and enjoy your Wedmesday night!

Just a reminder that tomorrow after school individual band pictures will be taken for those who wish to participate. You will be able to view the proofs and order your pictures online.

Jazz band will go first. Those participating in AP recognition will be able to have their picture taken afterwards.

Please bring your uniform and instrument. You do not need your hat. We will use a hat from the band room for everyone.

And SMILE 🙂

See you tomorrow!

Hey everyone,

So I’ve put together the details as they exist right now for the next 3 weeks. This includes the rest of the regular season football games, “March on Madison” next Tuesday, and the remaining two competitions. Please read carefully and print out for your references. It’s a LOT of information. We really need your help in making the next three weeks happen.

I will continue to send weekly schedules with the most up to date information; however, I don’t expect much to change. Please pay close attention to our rehearsal schedule, as it is quite different for the next three weeks, football band especially.

Once again, thank you for your hard work and effort so far this season. It’s definitely been a good one so far. We want to finish it just as strong as we’ve started. Please be prompt, prepared, and professional.
