DHS Holds its Winter Concert

What a wonderful evening of entertainment at DHS on Thursday evening.  The annual winter Concert was a fantastic presentation of student talent.  The Chorus and Blue Light Special a cappella group performed a number of seasonal songs which were just excellent.  The show opened with the chorus being accompanied by junior Ryan Smith which was very moving.  The rifle, flag and baton groups also performed wonderful exhibitions for the crowd.  The use of glowing rifles and batons were also a big hit.  The concert band closed out this seasonal show with a number of crowd favorites.  Such a nice night of entertainment.
