Pep Band & Football Games
All Marching Band members will be expected to attend the scheduled home football games (see Music Department Calendar). Each student will need a Lyre and Flip Folder with Plastic Sheets (approximately 15) to hold their pep band music. You should purchase prior to the first home game. You can order these items online or your can visit JAMS in Dublin (call ahead to ensure they have them in stock, as there is generally a rush before the first game).
To purchase locally, visit JAMS Music (a DHS Music Boosters Preferred Vendor).
