District 99 Marching Band Ready for July 4th!

Members of the DGN and DGS Marching Bands have joined forces once again this year in preparation for the Darien and Downers Grove Independence Day Parades. Tonights rehearsal at North High was the final prep for this combined band effort.

Come out and cheer on your Trojan Marching Band and Marching Mustangs next Monday at either the Darien (9:30 AM) or Downers Grove (1:00 PM) parades.

Special Note: The District 99 Marching Band will be sporting NEW uniform shirts this year! Look for Mustang Blue, Trojan Purple, and the NEW District 99 Logo on the move!

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.
