Cookie Monster Eats School Bus

Yesterday, before the parade, a couple of students asked me if I would take a picture of the "Cookie Monster" because they didn't have a camera with them.  Jokingly, I told them that they could just do a "Google Image Search" when they got home, and they would find thousands of pictures of the Cookie Monster.  (They didn't really think this was funny or a good idea.)  Truthfully, I planned to take the picture for them, but got distracted by a slightly more pressing issue, and forgot.

DGN was the very first marching band in the parade, and we finished long before many groups had started up State Street.  As our buses were leaving for Downers Grove, and stopped at a light waiting to cross the parade route at the next break, I snapped this picture.  I call it, "Cookie Monster Eats School Bus."  I'll bet you can't find THIS one on Google (yet).

Thanksgiving with the DGN Band

We are "Thankful" for the wonderful work ethic and musical performance exhibited by the members of the DGN Trojan Marching Band this morning.  The band performed in the McDonalds Thanksgiving Day Parade for an audience estimated to be well over 200,000 spectators (and millions on television).

Gearing Up for the Thanksgiving Day Parade

Members of the DGN Trojan Marching Band spent time on Monday afternoon
preparing for their national television performance on Thanksgiving
morning. Be sure to tune-in to WGN-TV (or WGN-TV HD) on Thursday
morning to see the DGN Band. We are expected to pass the 'TV ZONE' at
approximately 9:00 AM CST.
