Checking In and a Reminder for Senior Scholarships

In this time of surreal craziness and seemingly endless uncertainty FOFA's most genuine concern is for the well-being of all during this current health crisis. Our sincerest hope is that everyone is able to safely settle in at home until daily life is able to return to a semblance of normalcy, hopefully much sooner than later.

And things WILL return to normal - we all must remain confident in that!

It is with that sentiment in mind that we'd like to remind the DGN Fine Arts families with graduating seniors that the deadline for applying for the DGN FOFA 2020 Senior Scholarships is upon us and applications must be submitted by Monday March 23rd at 11:59 p.m.

Please stay safe and stay healthy!

If You Need Flowers...FOFA's Got 'em!

Just a friendly reminder for you to get hip to this timely tip: FOFA has flowers for sale at this week's "The Music Man" performances!

Flowers are a great way to celebrate and congratulate your DGN Fine Arts thespian and purchasing said flowers at the performance supports FOFA's mission of helping fund various projects and happenings across ALL DGN Fine Arts programs. (Plus, it eliminates the need to remember to pick up flowers beforehand, and that lousy sinking feeling you get when you show up and realize that - oh, man! - you forgot to pick up flowers...) So do yourself a favor and purchase your petals at the play.

Thanks for your consideration and support! Enjoy the musical!

"The Music Man" is Here!

Come on by and find yourself some trouble! Enjoy the hard work of our DGN students and staff and support the Fine Arts programs. This Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 12th, 13th and 14th.

The DGN Fine Arts Department will present "The Music Man" school musical on Thursday, March 12 and Friday, March 13 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, March 14 at 5 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for kids and free for District 99 students with ID. For info call 630-795-8413.


Based on a story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey and book, music and lyrics by Meredith WIllson, "The Music Man" follows Harold Hill, a traveling con man. He arrives in River City and convinces the locals to start a band by purchasing the uniforms and instruments from him. His intention is to flee as soon as he receives the money. Librarian Marian Paroo suspects Harold is a fraud, but holds her tongue since her moody brother, Winthrop, is excited about the band. As Harold begins to develop feelings for Marian, he faces a difficult decision about skipping town.

Come see the DGN Fine Arts production of the Broadway classic! You won't be disappointed!
