Hello Everyone:

 

Just a few final reminders before Thanksgiving.  

 

First of all- we've heard from IHSA that students may assist with selling programs at the football championships on Saturday.  There is a great opportunity and we still need people to donate some time.  Please check out the volunteer info below.  Students please think about asking a friend and working a 3 hour shift where you can mostly talk to the people you sign up with.

 

Here's the info:

Or call Amy Clark at (815) 520-0295

 

Also, I'm attaching a field trip permission slip for the midwest band and orchestra clinic on Dec. 19.  If your student would like to attend, it needs to be returned next Monday, Dec. 2.  I'm sending this digitally because many students were absent today and I did not get it to all of the classes yesterday.

 

A final reminder that we hope to see you all at the House Cafe tonight at 7 pm.

 

If we don't see you, please have a happy and safe Thanksgiving,

 

Mr. Lundin

Hello Everyone:

 

First of all I'd like to thank everyone who participated in making the ILMEA district VIII music festival a huge success last weekend.  I cannot tell you how many people truly enjoy coming to DHS and making music for a day here.  Thanks to all of you for helping to provide such a positive experience for so many young people.  

 

That said, there are still plenty of things happening with here with our bands.  For example, next Tuesday, Nov. 26, the DHS Jazz Ensemble will be performing at the House Cafe in its annual Fall concert at 7pm.  This promises to be an especially exciting concert as we will be hosting NIU Professor of Jazz studies Ron Carter as a guest soloist.  Professor Carter is a world-renowned jazz artist and educator and this year marks his last year at NIU.  We're very excited to have him share his talents and expertise with the students here at DHS.  It's an event not to be missed and a great way to kick off Thanksgiving break.  Please spread the word and come ready to swing. I should also note that the House is opening just for us that evening as they're not officially re-opened yet and I'm told they do not think that the revamped kitchen will be prepared to serve meals yet (so grab a bite before you come please). 

 

Additionally, our music boosters has received a tremendous opportunity to raise some serious money (potentially thousands of dollars) for our programs through helping IHSA host the state football tournament at NIU after Thanksgiving.  It's easy work that requires a minimal time commitment and is sure to make money for our programs.  Please consider helping.  See the following note from our boosters or check out the attached document to volunteer:

Fundraiser pickup

Hello everyone:

If you or your child sold anything through the Fall Catalog Fundraiser, those items will be available for pickup tomorrow from 1:30-5:30.  Please remind your child to pick up their box(es) as it is very difficult for us to store anything that's not picked up (especially cookie dough).  Pick up will be in the DHS Black Box theatre.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

thank you,
Mr. Lundin

One last call for volunteers and pie

Hello Everyone:

This is just a final call for some extra volunteers to work tomorrow for the ILMEA District 8 music festival here at DHS.  We are in particular need of some help for lunches between 10:30-1:30.    To volunteer, please contact Carol Lee Duffin at duffincl3@yahoo.com

Also, this is a final reminder that you can still order pie until midnight tonight!  We've done really well so far, but we're still a little short of our goal, so please consider helping, if you've not do so already.  The only way to order now is to visit www.marketday.com and search for school 21072.  

Thanks for all that you do to support our kids,
Mr. L
