Last night, the DHS performing arts program presented "Sounds of the Season" a musical extravagana which also served as the grand opening of the newly renovated Performing Arts Center. Current students in choir, band, and orchestra, along with DHS alumni and current and retired DHS staff came together for an incredible celebration. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making this space possible, and to all those who performed last night!
