We also appreciate monetary donations that goes towards the food that we do have to purchase! You can send a check to PO Box 236 (Petoskey, MI), Venmo PetoskeyBand-Boosters, or cash! (Please be sure to note on any form of payment that it is for "DALMAC".)
What is DALMAC you ask?
The DALMAC is a major cyclist event, with riders going in massive groups on several routes across the state.This is a fundraiser that we have every Labor Day weekend. We ask for volunteers to come in for a two-hour shift in a 28-hour window. (Any students receiving scholarships for camps will need to work this event as part of their scholarship). It’s a fun event!

Uniform Fitting Appointments
Marching Band uniform fitting appointments!
This year, we are going to require appointments to be fitted for Marching Band uniforms in an effort to avoid pulling students from band practice and also to synchronize with volunteers easier.
Marching Band Competition Details
Marching Band Competitions
Checklist:
- Marching band shirt under Uniform coat.
- Black shoes and TALL, ALL BLACK socks.
- Uniform hat and gauntlets.
- Black gloves.
- Guard uniform.
- Instrument (with valve oil, backup sticks, reeds, etc.)
- Lunch and dinner (packed) and/or money for concessions.
- Water (we do supply some water, but typically not enough for everyone to have multiple bottles)
Be sure to think ahead about weather and dress appropriately. We do have marching rain jackets in case it rains OR SNOWS, but you could be wet for the ride home, so plan to have a change of clothes just in case. A water bottles and snacks are good to have also.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: We have modified the "Not Riding Home" procedure to help all parties involved with transportation keep better track of our students while away.
If you are planning on driving your student home from the competition (everyone rides the bus down together), we need an email to Mr. Harder by the WEDNESDAY prior to the competition, so that we have enough time to compile the list for our drivers and chaperones.
