May Band Concert a Sonic Success!

Congratulations to the members of the DGN Concert Band, DGN Symphonic Band, and senior soloist Jesse Backes, for a terrific concert this evening.

Earlier this morning students rehearse with harpist Hannah Young.

This evening timpanist Emily Mitchka contributes to the ensemble's powerful sound.

FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty is to offer students a well-rounded curricular experience that includes exposure to genres of music, theatre, and visual art in a wide variety of creative settings. Program goals that serve as tenets for the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty are: To provide a productive and cooperative learning environment in which students of various backgrounds and ability levels may learn to achieve outstanding artistic results; To intentionally study music, theatre and visual art from cultures and communities that have been historically under-represented; To engage students in a journey toward artistic and personal success at the highest level; To develop in young people the appreciation, discrimination, analysis, and participation skills necessary to become lifelong consumers of the arts.
