Dear Parents & Students, Earlier this year, we were nominated for a Power a Bright Future grant from The Clorox Company in hopes of securing up to $50,000 in funding for band necessities including travel expenses, instruments, sheet music, and visiting clinicians. After a competitive national nomination period, now is the time for our school community to show its support. Help DCA Jazz win up to $50,000 by casting votes starting Nov. 5, 2012 through Dec. 12, 2012. You, your neighbors, friends, co-workers and family can vote online and by text message. Please vote everyday to increase our chances of winning. The program that receives the highest number of votes will be awarded the $50,000 grand-prize grant, and the next top vote-getters in the three nominating categories will each be awarded a $25,000 grant. A panel of Clorox judges will also select three lucky schools, one in each category, to win a $25,000 judge’s choice grant.
