July 4th Parade Prep

Members of the DGN and DGS bands joined forces Wednesday night in preparation for a D99 Marching Band performance in the annual Downers Grove Independence Day Parade. 170 band students plan to represent District 99 at the parade this weekend.

Come cheer on the D99 band students this Sunday, July 4th, as the parade processes on Main St. from the Tivoli Theatre to North High School.

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.
