Dayton Public Schools
2019 Big Gig 2.0
April 8-9, 2019
Dayton Public Schools (DPS) celebrated the astonishing growth of its instrumental music program this past year with “DPS Big Gig 2.0.” The event was a repeat performance of last year’s inaugural celebration, which served to bring artists and educators to a student body that, prior to 2018, had been without a band program for more than a decade. This year, more than 50 middle and high school students who play in the DPS All-City Intermediate/Advanced Band participated in clinics provided by Lamar Burkhalter, a Yamaha Performing Artist and music director for the Houston Texans, and Wayne Markworth, director of Winds for Winter Guard International Sport of the Arts (WGI). The clinicians helped the band prepare for its upcoming performance at the DPS All-City Arts Festival, to be held on May 4 at Riverscape Metropark.

A hearty CONGRATULATIONS to all!!!

Superintendent Torlakson believes that all California’s children should receive a holistic education that includes activities that reinforce academics, develop skills, capture student interest, and support student engagement. Arts education can play an important role in this regard. We hope this letter will assist you in making important decisions about the use of federal dollars to support arts education.
