DGN Trojan Marching Band Performs at University of Illinois

The members of the DGN Trojan Marching Band were front and center on the 50-yard line as they joined forces with the Marching Illini at halftime of the University of Illinois vs University of Texas - San Antonio football game on Saturday, September 4, 2021. Congratulations to all students and staff involved in the performance, and a special "shout out" to DGN Band alumni Mikayla Cichy (Piccolo) and Aidan Purcell (Clarinet) - as well as DGS Band alumnus Jake Burrows (Drum Major) - for their performance with the Marching Illini!

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.
