The choir students at D.M.S. have never had a nice uniform for any concerts or competitions they have had. Usually during the big UIL competition, choirs dress in professional dress. This means that choirs dress in a tuxedo for the boys and a black dress for the girls. In previous years, our choir has gone in any black pants that they have and a white polo shirt that says choir. This year, I want to take my students to the competition and have them look as good as they sound! I truly believe that if you look good, you will sound even better. There is a sense of pride and confidence that comes with dressing up and performing, and I want my students to feel that feeling. These students truly deserve the best and, with your help, I can show them that people care about them and that if they work hard it will be noticed and rewarded. Thank you in advance for your donation!
