Congrats DGN Vocal Festival Participants!

Congratulations to over 60 choir students who participated in our annual Vocal Festival today! Three guest clinicians worked in a masterclass format with our singers during each of our scheduled choir classes, providing a wonderful learning opportunity for both the soloists and the audience of choir students! 18 students were selected to compete in a "run-off" performance after school, and a small group of these students will be selected by our clinicians to sing alongside peers from DGS at our District Honors Recital in March.
We are so proud of our students' hard work and marvelous performances! Special thanks to our voice teachers for helping our students prepare for this event, and to our clinicians, Dr. Robert Sinclair, Mrs. Beth Best and Mrs. Robyn Wiper, for a wonderful day!

Welcome Ball State University Women's Chorus

The DGN Choirs had the honor of hosting the Ball State University Women's Chorus on Wednesday afternoon! The Ball State Women's Chorus was selected through competitive audition to perform at the ACDA Central and North Central Division Conference on Thursday morning in Chicago. We enjoyed an incredible preview of their upcoming performance and our A Cappella Choir had the opportunity to sing and collaborate with the Women's Chorus. Many thanks to Dr. Kerry Glann and the Ball State University Women's Chorus for making the stop in Downers Grove to share their beautiful music!
