2013 Marching Mustangs Band Camp
Under the auspices of picture-perfect weather conditions, the 2013 Marching Mustangs began their 2013 Band Camp today. Although this performance ensemble has already logged over 90 hours of rehearsal and performance time since the conclusion of the school year in June, the students and staff are digging in for an intensive week of visual and sonic preparations for the pending performance season.
The show this year, titled "Artistry in Time," will present visually and sonically the compositions of Dave Brubeck and Stan Kenton. A show influenced by the stylistic elements inherent in jazz, this production is certain to be a crowd favorite throughout the fall.
Band Camp will culminate with a performance at half-time of the DGS Varsity Football Scrimmage. The scrimmage begins at 7:15 PM on Friday, August 23, 2013 with the Marching Mustangs performance to follow shortly after the start of the scrimmage. The public is cordially invited to attend both the scrimmage and the Marching Mustangs performance.
