The 2007 Green Wave Marching Band Season Begins - "LA NOUBA!"

The 2007 Dover Green Wave Marching Band season is underway! Rehearsals have begun for this year's show, "LA NOUBA" from Cirque du Soleil. We welcome all of our new band and guard members and look forward to another great season.

Please note that uniform contracts, band camp permission slips, medical forms, picnic postcards, and uniform and camp payments should be turned in as soon as possible.

There is still time to volunteer for the Pease Air Show! The DHS Music Department and the DPMC will be paid $13 per hour per volunteer, for every parent, student, staff member, and friend of the DPMC who volunteers at the Air Show on August 18 and 19. Funds raised will be used to purchase much-needed equipment for Guard, Percussion, Band, and other programs. Contact Wendy at harmon12@metrocast.net if you would like to participate. The DPMC thanks you for your support!
