Homecoming Week Is Here!

Hope you're planning on joining in the festivities!

 On Wednesday September 26th at 7 PM  swing by the Clarence Johnson Auditorium for the Student Variety Show, featuring a performance by the Jazz Ensemble Band accompanying the Chamber Choir. $5 at the door (it's a school fundraiser) gets you in for all the student talent and fun.

 On Friday September 28th the DGN Marching Band leads the Homecoming Parade, stepping off at 3:15 PM from the corner of Prince and Grant Streets (click here for the NEW parade route). At 7:30 PM the DGN Trojans face off against the Oak Park-River Forest Huskies on the gridiron at Carstens Field. Come early and stay to the very end as the DGN Marching Band performs pre-game, halftime and post-game. Joining the band for the evening will be dozens of members of the DGN Alumni Band, spanning generations and the decades! Come on out and join the excitement as we cheer the Trojans on to victory!

Did You Know...

...that the DGN Orchestra will be performing this weekend at the Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago's beautiful Millennium Park? They are, as part of the Great Lakes Confucius Institute Music Festival on Sunday September 16th beginning at 2:30 PM.

For full details of the event go to the DGN Fine Arts page.

Sunday's weather forecast calls for plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the low 80s (and the Bears don't play until Monday night...), so come on down to the lakefront and enjoy an afternoon of wonderful music!
