Here is another simple way to earn money for the Band! Please print out the barcode below, and the next time you shop at Fry's, ask them to link this to your Fry's VIP Card. You can do it right at the register. Then every time you shop between now and April 21, 2012 and use your VIP card, your purchases will accrue toward rebates for the Band. For every $50,000 in purchases, Fry's will send the band $500!

 If you have done this in years past, you will need to re-link this new bar code to your VIP card.  We are required to re-establish the program each year.  If you have any questions, email Lisa Frace, lfrace@cox.net.

Music for All National Concert Band & Percussion Festival
Congratulations!  The 2011-2012 DV Wind Ensemble and Percussion Ensemble have been selected to the prestigious Music for All National Concert Band & Percussion Festival in Indianapolis, IN.  The groups were selected by CD audition from a pool of applicants from across the nation.  This is a true honor for these students as this is considered to be the premier concert band festival in the country.  These two groups will participate during Spring Break, March 15-17.  See below for their acceptance letters.  The program would like to specifically thank the graduating Senior class of 2011 for their efforts in the application CD. - Josh Thye

Trampolines

We are still looking for families who may be interested in sponsoring a trampoline. As a sponsor you would be eligible to be entered into a draw to win one of the trampolines at the end of the season to keep. All of the trampolines will be signed by the members of the 2011-2012 Marching Band and would be a great reminder of the show as well as great fun to use. If you would be interested in sponsoring a trampoline and being entered into the draw we are asking for a donation of $50. Please send your name and telephone number on a index card (mark it "Trampoline Sponsor") and your payment (checks should be made payable to DVBB) to the Band Booster mail box at 3145 E Chandler Blvd, Suite 110, Box 606, Phoenix, AZ, 85048 by July 1st.
Thank you.
