Dear Parents and Students,

I hope all of you have had a restful and fun summer! We are looking forward to another great year in our department.

Parental involvement is both desired and necessary to make our program the best it can be. With your help the department can participate in events, continue to hire local and national artists to work with our students and raise the necessary funds that enable us to be an exemplary department. Please come and get involved with the department at monthly Band Parent Support meetings, at performances and for special events.

Please take the time to read the material contained in this handbook. The success of our program depends on all of us striving for the same goals of excellence and achievement throughout the year.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Dear Parents and Students,

We, as orchestral musicians, have a great opportunity at DSA in 2000-01. We have a fine young orchestra and should do everything possible to promote our music. As director, it is my responsibility to see that we play only fine music. My focus at DSA will be quality. Our music must reflect only the highest level of musicianship. The hard work of the entire orchestra is really paying off.

We must be ambassadors in every performance. We must foster orchestral music in all our efforts. The encouragement of young musicians will be a cornerstone of our thought. It must be understood that inclusion is paramount in our efforts. Students and parents must take active roles in our efforts.

Indeed, I feel fortunate to have been asked to work with the students at DSA. My efforts will be directed at the success of my students and the furthering of orchestral music.

Sincerely,

Frank Fyock
Director of Orchestras

Welcome back to everyone! I hope your summer was relaxing but most of all fun! This is an exciting year at DSA especially for piano majors. We have the most students we have ever had and I look forward to many wonderful concerts and performances throughout the year.

The piano department is expanding and becoming more visible at DSA as students work with different departments in the school including vocal music, dance and drama This year I hope that parents and students will make a special effort to support each other in the department, working to produce the largest audiences yet for our performances.

I look forward to working with the students private piano teachers to coordinate our efforts in helping each individual student grow and develop their skills as a musician.
