Led by Dr. Jennifer Kitelinger, the Del Norte High School Music Program is made up of more than 250 students and a booster association. Along with Dr. Kitelinger, the Band and Orchestra are under the direction of Devin Hayworth (Associate Director, Instrumental Music), Elizabeth Raymond (Music Assistant and Drill Instructor) and a talented staff of private teachers. The Color Guard is directed by Melissa Barton. The music program is now in its very successful 14th year! Competing in 6A, there are big expectations for this talented group of musicians!
