Putting The Pieces Together

Congratulations to the members of the DGN Winter Guard on their season-culminating performance this weekend at the Midwest Color Guard Circuit Championships, held at LaPorte High School (Indiana).  The DGN squad finished 6th, placing in the top half of their competitive class.

We extend our thanks and appreciation to the 2013-14 Winter Guard - and coach Kelly Coffman - for their dedication and hard work this year.  It was a great competitive season that showcased substantial growth for the entire team.  Congratulations Trojans; we are very proud of you!

Arts Merge at DGN Band March Concert

Congratulations to the members of the DGN Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble, for terrific performances this evening at the March Band Concert.

Special thanks are extended to Professor Daniel J. Farris (Northwestern University) for joining the DGN Bands tonight as visiting artist and guest conductor.  

Highlights of the concert included senior solos by Joseph Pacheco and Lucy Lu.  Additionally, DGN visual artists Brook Pryor and Livija Rainyte created a beautiful painting - live - as they interpreted Samuel Hazo's "Blue and Green Music" (inspired by the Georgia O'Keeffe oil painting of the same name).
