Jazz at the Movies

Congratulations to the Big Band from the Music School in Beitigheim-Bissingen, Germany, who wowed the throng gathered at the Tivoli for the "Jazz at the Movies" concert tonight.

Kudos as well are extended to the Mustang jazz musicians from DGS (the DGS Jazz Lab Band, led by Glenn Williams, and the DGS Jazz Ensemble, led by Craig Roselieb) for terrific performances this evening at the Tivoli.

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.
