    Dempsey Middle School


There are two scheduled band periods at Dempsey. The Orange Band (primarily 7th graders) and the Black Band (primarily 8th graders). Both groups perform their own music for each concert throughout the year (approximately 4) and will perform at adjudicated contests each Spring. Classes meet 5 days a week for 40 minutes each day. Students will have opportunities to work in small groups, individually, use technology and further their skills as a member of these ensembles. One of the highlights each year is "Dempsey Night"; a Friday night football game in which the Dempsey Band students perform at halftime.

Monday, May 4th will be the Spring Concert for Willis and Dempsey Bands. The program will begin at 7 pm at the Hayes Performing Arts Center and will feature our 5th - 8th grade bands as well as some of the Soloists and small groups that performed at the Middle School Solos and Ensemble Contests, April 18.

Performer Arrival Time:
5th and 6th grade:  6:30 pm, Meet in Choir Room
Jazz Band, 7th and 8th grades: 7 pm, Meet in Band room
Soloists and groups will be informed separately of arrival time

Attire:
Black Musician Polo, black slacks or skirt

Please plan on staying for the entire concert as all of our students have worked very hard and deserve a full audience. It should last about one hour. There will be cookies and punch served following the concert in the Hayes Commons.

We will begin with 5th grade and progress to the 8th grade. Soloists and small groups will be mixed throughout the large groups.

I look forward to sharing a fun night of music and celebration of a great year with the students and your family
