Dear Desert Mountain,

Music is a vital component in the positive growth of every child. Based upon extended research studies, we now know that the very process of learning music develops the artistic mind and brings forth the creative potential in all young people. For this reason, continued membership in our Band family is strongly encouraged.

It is a privilege to have your child as a valued musician in our organization. Thank you for your support of the Band Program and Music Program at Desert Mountain. You play an important role in everything we will be able to achieve. Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year!

Respectfully,
