Congratulations to those musicians who have been selected to participate in this year’s Colorado All State Orchestra! We know you have worked hard to get there, now we need to get you there! Parent volunteers are needed to drive students to Fort Collins and chaperone the three-day trip. We leave DSA early Thursday, February 9 and return late Saturday, February 11. DSAO will pay for your hotel stay, and you will volunteer your time and vehicle. If you are a parent of an All State musician please let us know if you are able to help and how many children (basses or cellos) you can fit in your car. Email Christy Berger.
