Congratulations to the member of the DGN Trojan Marching Band as they performed their final regular-season home-football show on Friday evening. The football team's victory in the Crosstown Classic capped off a terrific evening of school-spirit and outstanding musicianship!
A special thank-you is extended to the members of the Class of 2019 for their dedication and commitment to the Trojan Marching Band. In total, our seniors contributed 160 years of combined service to DGN!

Congratulations to the members of the DGN Trojan Marching Band on their high-energy performance at the 2018 Sounds of the Stadium concert!
The DGN Bands were pleased to welcome the Gaudete Brass to North High School today for the first of several campus residency visits. The Chicago-based professional brass quintet is collaborating with the DGN Wind Ensemble to present Leonard Bernstein's Suite from MASS on the upcoming October 30 concert, as well as a special performance at Cadogan Hall in London, England. 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of Bernstein's birth, and the DGN/Gaudete Collaboration is being recognized by the Bernstein Office as an official #Bernstein100 international performance.
The members of the quintet worked with all three concert band classes today, both as performers and as clinicians.
The DGN Fine Arts Department extends thanks to the DGN Friends of Fine Arts, the District 99 Education Foundation, and the Illinois Arts Council, for their generous support of this residency project.
Join us Friday, October 5th at 7 PM in the Purple Gym to enjoy the Sounds Of The Stadium with the DGN Trojan Marching Band! This is a great opportunity to catch the band's Friday night football season repertoire without the threat of inclement weather or the challenge of chilly bleachers. Enjoy the continuous performance of the Trojan Marching Band with no gridiron action breaks. We hope to see you there!
