DGN's annual Summer Theatre Workshop will be held on Tuesday, August 13, from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM in North High's Clarence Johnson Auditorium. We are excited to welcome back all of our outstanding theatre students, and to welcome new students interested in learning more about our theatre programs!

At the workshop we will eat snacks, play games, tour the space, get reacquainted with old friends, make new friends, and find out the titles of our productions this season! Students will also receive a 2019-20 DGN Theatre Tee Shirt.

Students must pre-register prior to attend, and the deadline is Tuesday, July 30. The cost of the T-shirt is included in the $12 registration fee.

We look forward to another awesome season of DGN Theatre, and hope to see you on August 13!

DGN Bands To Celebrate 50th Anniversary of Moon Landing

"50 years ago today, people around the globe gathered at their radios & televisions to join two humans as they landed on the Moon for the first time. As they took one small step, a giant leap was accomplished." (@NASA)

This fall the DGN Trojan Marching Band will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing, with an eye toward future space travel, in their show entitled, "... AND BEYOND!"

July 4th Homecoming Surprise!

There was a lot to celebrate on July 4th, including a surprise homecoming that reunited DGN Band flutist Raegan Novak with her brother and United States Marine, Austin Novak. Lance corporal Novak, who is stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA, arrived just prior to the parade to surprise Raegan.

Thank you, Lance corporal Novak, for your service.
