Revised Halftime Music

The halftime music for the Trojan Marching Band 2019 production "...and beyond!" has been revised! New scores, parts, and audio files are now available HERE. 

To accommodate the Athena Tunes, as well as feature our junior high and middle school students, our Alumni, and our Seniors at various games throughout the season, we have cut the original first movement from the show. We also made small cuts to the remaining three movements. 

The new parts will have the phrase "Updated 6/23/2019" at the bottom of the page to indicate the correct version. 

If they are able, we ask that students print this music at home and bring it with them to Band Camp in August. 

Front Ensemble parts are still being written. Those will be made available as soon as they have been received. 

Happy practicing!

July 4th Parade - First Practice Tonight!

The first of two important rehearsals for DGN Band members will be held TONIGHT (June 25) from 6:30 - 8:30 PM at North High.  We will be preparing for our participation in the Downers Grove July 4th Parade.  Students should arrive wearing comfortable closed toe tennis shoes, and bring a water bottle.

The second of two rehearsals will be held at North High on Tuesday evening (July 2) from 6:30 - 8:30 PM.  We will be combining with members of the South High Marching Band on that evening as we finalize our parade block for the July 4th parade.

Students who need a school-issued instrument to use in the parade may check the instrument out at the rehearsal on June 25, and (with the exception of Sousaphones) take the instrument home between June 25 and July 2 for personal practice.

16 Years!

2019 DGN Band Banquet

We often speak of the DGN Band as an extension of family. Shout out to the Ford Family as they wrap up 16 years with the DGN Bands, which we believe is a record! (Shannon - Class of 07; Ashley - Class of 08; Ryan - Class of 13; Kacey - Class of 15; Kaitlyn - Class of 19) We will miss you!

Sign Up For Required Uniform Fitting Appointment!

Sign Up For Required Uniform Fitting Appointment!

Uniform fitting appointments will take place on Saturday, August 17th. Uniforms are being assembled this summer by amazing parent volunteers, and students must sign-up for a 30 minute window to claim their uniform, and try it on for confirmation. August 17th is the ONLY day we are scheduling appointments.

Students and Parents/Guardians: Please work together to sign up for a time that will work for you on August 17th. Only 15 students may sign up every 30 minutes; the earlier you register, the better chance you will have of securing a time that is most convenient for your family.

Please be careful not to double-register (i.e. student signs up, and then a parent signs the same student up). Make sure that each student is only registered for one time-slot. When you use Sign-Up Genius, the "First Name" and "Last Name" entered should be that of the band member (not the parent/guardian).

Color Guard members do NOT need to sign up for a Fitting Appointment on August 17.
