Dartmouth School Music Association Information

The Dartmouth School Music Association (DSMA) is a not-for-profit organization of friends of the Dartmouth Schools' music programs. For more than 25 years, the DSMA has been providing vital support to the entire music program of the Dartmouth Schools. When budget cuts threatened school music programs, DSMA acted to ensure their survival; as a result, music programs in Dartmouth schools are stronger than ever! Each year, DSMA works hard to:• Showcase Dartmouth's championship Band and Color Guard in local competitions by providing funding for additional support staff (drill and Color Guard instructors, music arrangers), sheet music, band uniform repair, Color Guard uniforms, props, additional transportation funds for out-of-town competitions, entrance fees, etc. • Provide $8,000-$10,000 in scholarships each year to college-bound seniors who participate in high school music programs. • Assist with music programs at middle school and elementary levels.
