Thank You D99 Marching Band!

The faculty and administration of North and South High Schools extend deep thanks and appreciation to the 200 students of the District 99 Marching Band for their tremendous efforts in two community parades today. Students endured extended temperatures (Heat Index 104) as they performed musically and marched with precision.

A special thanks is also extended to the parent volunteers of the Mustang Band Boosters and the DGN Music Boosters for providing hundreds of iced water bottles, as well as support along the parade routes to ensure students were safe and all needs attended to.

Congratulations to all for great performances today and for representing District 99, and our communities, in such a positive manner!

Band Leaders Get Jump Start On 2012-13

Many thanks to the dedicated members of the 2012-13 DGN Marching Band Leadership Team who spent the first day of "summer vacation" preparing for NEXT year.

North High welcomed internationally renown music educator and student leadership trainer Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser to campus. "Dr. Tim" made a significant impact on our students today, challenging them to lead by example and make a difference in the lives of others through "servant leadership." Thank you Dr. Tim!

Congratulations, Class of 2012!

It's graduation day!  DGN Bands congratulates the Class of 2012, and sends all best wishes for a wonderful commencement this evening.


Thank you, seniors, for being a part of the Trojan Band for the past four years.  We wish you well in all your future endeavors.  Stay in touch, and come back for Alumni Band!
