DGN Pride was evident and on full display tonight as the Trojan Marching Band presented a 'Band Camp Showcase' for 400+ onlookers at North High School. The 190 member music ensemble demonstrated basic marching fundamentals, performed the traditional DGN Pre-Game, and performed the 'opener' from this year's half-time theme: 50 Years of James Bond. Students also participated in the traditional Band Camp 'March-Off' and executed stand-still performance previews of five additional pieces.
Following the Showcase, families gathered in downtown Downers Grove - at 'Every Day's a Sundae' - for ice cream. Thank you to owners Stan and Diane Urban for their ongoing support of our schools and Fine Arts programs!
Kudos and congratulations to the students and staff associated with the Trojan Marching Band. The hard work and long hours invested during Band Camp was evident in the quality of the Showcase performance tonight.
