It's really GRAND! New piano finds home at DGN

Thanks to the wonderful financial support of the DGN Friends of Fine Arts, and the District 99 Board of Education, a beautiful new grand piano made its way into Pohlmann Hall at North High today! 

"Words could not express our excitement as we watched a brand new piano roll into our DGN Choir Room," said music faculty member Ms. Beth O'Riordan. "It will provide such high quality musical support to our students for many, many years to come. We are so grateful to have amazing support from the DGN Friends of Fine Arts and our District 99 Administration!"

"The new piano has a touch that is incredibly responsive," added Dr. Frank Piekarz. "This instrument will allow us to play accompaniments and vocal parts with greater clarity and sensitivity. It also sounds fantastic in the room - it's perfectly suited given our choir room's size and acoustical treatments."
