Western Region Auditions
Congratulations to all the students who participated in the Western Region Auditions. It took a lot of preparation and no small amount of courage to audition before the adjudicators - we are very proud of all our students! DHS did very well: 20% of the students who auditioned from our band, orchestra and choir will be participating in the CT Music Educator's Association (CMEA) Music Festival on January 15th & 16th.
And, we raised over $400 from the Bagel & Bake Sale. Thanks to all who contributed items to the bake sale. There were a lot of hungry participants and chaperones who really appreciated the food. And thank you to all who helped out throughout the day. It was a big success.Band Program Handbook

Welcome, Mr. Riley
Mr. Riley, a familiar face at many band events, will be taking over as the DHS Band Director for the 2009-10 school year. He is currently the band director at Broadview Middle School.
Mr. Albano, Moving On...
Mr. Albano will be moving to Broadview Middle School to take over as band director. All of his time and efforts over the past 4 years to improve the DHS band program are greatly appreciated by all. It's amazing how much time he spent with the students during the school day, during the summer, on weekends, and after school in many ensembles, competitions, fundraisers, and so much more. He will be missed by the band family of students and parents.
Notable Night - Success!
The cafeteria of Danbury High School was transformed into a beautiful dinner club for our recent Notable Night dinner. Thanks to all of our volunteers who put in lots of time to make the night a success.
Special thanks go to the Outback Steakhouse for providing, preparing, and serving a wonderful dinner. The balloon decorations provided by Balloons Etc. added a very festive touch. The plants borrowed from Danbury Agway on Mill Plain Road were beautiful. They'd look good in any garden. And thank you to Ancient Order of Hibernians, Durant's Tents and Events and the Amber Room for their support and sponsorship. And to all of the many local businesses and individuals who donated goods and services to our Silent Auction, we couldn't have done it without you! See the Notable Night section for a complete list and please visit our sponsors!!!
