Zone Concert a HIT!
|
----------------------------
A standing ovation at the end of any performance is such a great feeling. That's exactly what the 350+ performers were able to enjoy at the 2012 DRHS Zone Concert. Parents, Administrators, students and staff alike were impressed with all the groups' performances: Depoali Beginning, Intermediate & Advanced Bands; and the DRHS Symphonic Band. As Mr. Schifferdecker stated, and we all witnessed first-hand, the Damonte Ranch program is definitely on the verge of many extraordinary accomplishments. Kudos to all!!
