Beach Day Competition: Band Camp 2020

Today's power-outage derailed the woodwind rehearsal, making it impossible to crown a "winning section" in today's contest. But we do want to give a shout out to both the Drumline and Color Guard for 100% participation, and to everyone who shared their "beach party" spirit!

Carissa Blumka Named "Drum Major First Class"

Congratulations to DGN Trojan Marching Band Senior Drum Major, Carissa Blumka, who recently earned the distinction of Drum Major First Class through the Smith Walbridge Drum Major Academy. 

The distinction of Drum Major First Class was earned by only 11 students in 2020, and Carissa's award puts her in a small and elite group of High School Drum Majors from across the United States. 

Well done, Carissa!
