XTENSION CHORDS visit North High

The XTENSION CHORDS - from the University of Illinois - were on campus today to perform two in-class concerts for DGN music students. Ed Vettel - DGN Choir alumnus - was welcomed back to room 136 with thunderous applause. It was certainly a memorable performance for the students of North High.

Thanks XTENSION CHORDS!
