Today and tomorrow, the DGS Bands will have the privilege of working with John Mackey, the composer of several pieces for both Marching Band and all Concert Bands. Please join us tonight at the Marching Band practice to meet Mr. Mackey and see how he interacts with our Marching Mustangs. Bring an umbrella and a blanket to stay warm!
