It's Official - We are a 'GO' for NYC!

We are pleased to announce that we had a tremendous initial registration for the 2015 NYC Tour, and we currently have 187 persons registered to travel with the student group.  We have authorized our travel agency to proceed with first deposits being charged on July 1st.

Additionally, the "Fan Package" has nearly 50 persons signed up, and that trip is also a "go."

If your family has not yet registered for the tour, but you would still like to, it's  not too late!  Please let us know of your interest to add, and we will help get you set up.  

We extend our thanks to our DGN Band Families for your enthusiasm and commitment to this performance tour.  Carnegie Hall ... here we come!

Every Touring Musician Will Perform at Carnegie Hall

The purpose of this post is to clarify that every student who participates in our tour to NYC will be a part of a band that will perform at Carnegie Hall.  There seems to be a little bit of incorrect information being passed around that suggests that only certain students on the tour will perform. This is not the case.

We anticipate that we will have somewhere between 160 - 180 students participate in the performance tour.  If those numbers hold true, all DGN band students will be assigned to one of two performing bands at Carnegie Hall.  Each band will perform a full set of music (approximately 30 minutes of stage time).

This "performance of a lifetime" is for everyone in our program.  No one sits on the sidelines!


Did you miss our NYC 2015 Tour Kick Off Meeting?

Got hung up at work? Maybe your family has already snuck out of town?

A video of last night's NYC Tour presentation has now been posted to our Tour Blog.  Additionally, you will find links on the left hand side of the page that will direct you to all of the paperwork that was distributed.  See the "Tour Mailings" link for all of the written information we covered last night.  (We are also sending packets home to DGN Band families who were not present - via US Mail - and they should arrive at your house within a few days.)
