There is a Scrip Order due Monday, July 14th. Your Scrip Coordinators will be at the Band Hall before and after Band Rehearsal that day. If you cannot make it at that time, please contact them at dcscrip@comcast.net, to arrange a time to drop off your order.
Heath Hopper is in his 3rd year with the staff at DCHS, and shares some common history with one other staff member. As a student at South Panola high school, he played baritone under the leadership of a young band director by the name of Dennis Cox. Heath’s own experience as a high school band member led him to pursue a career in music. After receiving his bachelors degree in Music Education from the University of Mississippi, Heath moved on to Florida State University where he earned a masters degree in Instrumental Music Education. Not satisfied with mere class work during this time, he also spent four summers performing in the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps (’93 -’96). His love of marching has led to a part-time career as instructor for several DCI bands around the country including Magic of Orlando, Phantom Regiment, Corpsvets and The Bluecoats. Before coming to Desoto Central, he first taught band at Olive Branch Middle School, then moved to Cobb county Georgia to instruct at Campbell High School and South Cobb High School. He and his wife Varina live in Hernando with a Jack Russell terrier named Bruce and their daughter, Samara.
Have you been wondering what happened to the copies of the 2008 Band Video that were promised after the banquet? Well wonder no more! We have finally finished the complete update and have begun burning DVDs! The original 30 minute program is now enhanced with nearly one-and-a-half hours of extras, including the complete band night performances, student interviews, staff moments, humorous happenings and a final walk down memory lane.
You can begin picking up your copy from the band hall on Friday, May 16th. For those who placed an order at the band banquet, you will need to bring your payment (if have not previously paid) when you pick up your DVD. If you would like to order a copy, email me at dwofford@dcspride.com, and include your name, your student’s name and the number of copies you desire. You may then pick up your video from Mr. Cox. The cost is $20 per copy, due at pick up. Make checks payable to ‘DCHS Band’. Thanks for your patience and enjoy the show!
