Two big changes to the Marching Band schedule:

The big football game against Santa Barbara High has been moved to Saturday, October 28th. We will leave the Simi Valley Comp early and go straight to the football game to play pep music for our team.

Oxnard has changed their comp date again, they moved to Nov.11 so we will do 2 comps in one day again. It will likely be Moorpark in the morning, and Oxnard in the afternoon. The good news is that now there will be no comp on Saturday, Nov.4 - the day of DP's Homecoming dance.

Updated schedule:
Friday, August 25  Home game - DP vs. San Juan Hills
Friday, September 1  Home game - DP vs. Cabrillo
Thursday, September 28  Home game - DP vs. Hueneme
Friday, October 6  Home game - DP vs. Ventura
Fri-Sun, October 20-22  Competition- Las Vegas
Saturday, October 28  Competition- Simi Valley
Saturday, October 28  Away game at Santa Barbara High School
