Congratulations to the members of the 2022-23 Trojan Marching Band, members of the DGN Choir and DGN Varsity Athenas for wonderful performances Friday night during DGN's victory over Hinsdale Central High School. With the victory by the Trojan Varsity Football Team, DGN re-captured the "Old Oaken Bucket" for the first time since 2006.
The rivalry competition for "the Bucket" began in 1935. In the first sixteen years of its existence, Downers Grove controlled the series, winning ten of the sixteen games and tying two. Then in 1951, the Red Devils controlled the Bucket for twenty consecutive years (1951 to 1970).
Special appreciation is extended to the members of the Herrick Middle School Band and Choir, Jefferson Junior High School Band and Choir, and Westview Hills Middle School Band, for joining our DGN musicians on field for Pre Game and Halftime performances!
