DGS Chamber Music Program 2012

Dear Band Families,

Once again, we will be running our very popular and highly successful chamber music program. The chamber ensembles will be taught by our outstanding private music teachers. I have attached two flyers to this email which detail the program and the opportunities available to our musicians. This is a marvelous opportunity for our band students to truly refine and develop their musical skills under the guidance of outstanding musicians.

Please read through the two attached documents and parents, please encourage your son/daughter to participate in this worthwhile program.

There is no charge to you; the program is funded in its entirety by our Mustang Band Boosters. We ask that the students attend rehearsals on a regular basis and practice their music.

Details can be found at Chamber Music 2012.
and Chamber Music 2012 Descriptor.

Please call or email with any further questions.
