Summer Guard Prep Continues

The members of the DGN Marching Band Color Guard are hard at work this summer preparing for the 2013 season. Congratulations and thanks to this dedicated group of young women who are spending dozens of vacation hours refining base skills and beginning to learn routines prior to the official start of Band Camp.

Unboxing

A big 'thank you' to percussion leaders Rob K., Bob O., and Sarah S., as well as Leadership Team members Evan C., Cameron N., and Evangeline T., for their terrific help today as the DGN Band unboxed new marching percussion.  The new drums will be used for the first time during the upcoming 2013 Marching Band season.

Thank you to all the students who volunteered upwards of 5 hours today to assemble the drums, carriers, stands, cymbals, and accessories!
