The worst of winter is coming to an end, and now we are at the beginning of March. To celebrate, DCO has compiled a list of events.

NIU is hosting an upcoming concert featuring their wind symphony. They will be playing the following songs:
- Chasing Sunlight by Cait Nishimura
- Incantation and Dance by John Barnes Chance

Gaelic Storm
The Egyptian Theater will be hosting Celtic band Gaelic Storm’s “We Miss You” Tour. With two decades and 2000 live shows under their belts, the band attributes their success to their fans. There is a little bit of everything for people to love; country folks will love their storytelling, bluegrass-heads and rock ‘n’ roll fans will love their instruments and passion, and Celtic fans will adore their intertwining of tradition into their music.
