Congrats Alumnus Jesse Backes

Congratulations to DGN Alumnus and former Trojan Marching Band Drum Line Captain, Jesse Backes, on a terrific performance tonight at the Drum Corps International World Championships. Tonight's competition at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is the culminating event of a very lengthy and physically taxing competition season. We salute Jesse for his hard work and dedication to the marching arts through his affiliation with The Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps.

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.
