Vocal Music at DSA us dependant on amazing accompanists like Ryan Durfee. We can't have solos, audition for honor choirs, do senior recitals, or even have CONCERTS without him. 

DPS has cut Mr. Durfee's position and while people are offering to help pay his salary, a pianist's salary is at least 6 digits and they can charge $30 — $250 an hour for their services. This is too much cost to people willing to donate, so the best option is to make the district give Durfee back his job.

IMPORTANT: signing this petition is not enough for the district to notice alone. If you support this cause, send emails to the district; if this gets enough attention then they have to do something about it..

Thank you for your support,   ~ Socha Savage, 7th grade Vocal Major at DSA.
