DGN Alumni in Marching Illini

Mr. Miller recently visited his Alma Mater (Illinois) to watch Mr. Teague's Alma Mater (Michigan) win a football game. (Sorry Mr. Miller ... I was nice in class on Monday ... I couldn't resist.)

North High is extremely proud of the dozen DGN alumni that are currently a part of the nationally renown Marching Illini.

Band O Rama just around the corner!

The 2007 North High School Band-O-Rama Concert will be held this Thursday, October 11, at 7 PM in the Clarence Johnson Auditorium.
