Message for DGN Pep Band ... from NU

DGN Band Featured at NU

The DGN Pep Band performed with high energy, great musicianship and tremendous professionalism at today's NU vs UIC game in Evanston. From start to finish our students were "first class" in every way.

Special thanks to all of our students (and their families) who gave of their time during the Winter Break to create this special opportunity for our program. Great job!

Band Leadership Holiday Party

If one ever wonders why/how the DGN Band functions at a high level, they need look no further than the dedication of our student leaders.  After a lot of volunteer hours and hard work during Semester 1, it was nice to kick-back and relax today at our annual Band Student Leaders Holiday Party.
