This is another reminder and invitation to the Winter Fine Arts Festival on December 9th, 2021.
It is imperative that DGS Band, Choir, Orchestra, and Art families take the time to reserve tickets to this event as quickly as possible. They are free, but the space is limited. We anticipate a big turnout, so take a moment to read the details below and we hope to see you next week!!
This festival style occasion will first feature beautiful works of art from our DGS students. These works will be displayed in our gorgeous learning commons and be accompanied by group music performances that will add to the festive mood of this occasion. Following the opening act, you'll be treated to a re-imagined, immersive concert in our brand new Performing Arts Center. Festival doors will open at 5:30 with concert doors opening at 6:30pm.
We feel very fortunate to host this special event for all of you. We are also honored to have the opportunity to celebrate the deeper connections we share through art, music, and self-expression.
