Marching Mustangs have a blast at their 2023 band camp!

The Downers Grove South football field was put to good use July 31st through August 11th! This competitive marching band took the field all day everyday for two weeks to kick-off their season. These mustang musicians learned marching fundamentals, worked to memorize their show music, and made great memories along the way. A huge thank you to all of the family volunteers for feeding the band, band dads for working on props, and Jen Hasselhorst for taking these beautiful pictures! 

Highlights from the District 99 German Music Exchange!!!

The German Exchange Program with our friends from Bietigheim-Bissingen has a longstanding tradition of creating life-changing experiences and positive, lifelong memories for everyone involved. This year was no exception. Our District 99 families and faculty, along with our German counterparts had a wonderful experience last week. Here are just a handful of images that capture some of the magic of the trip. 

Thank you for everyone that came together to make this such a huge success!  Until next time, Lebewohl! Farewell!
