The man the myth

David Dickinson presiding over the latest edition of his brainchild, the KFC.  "Mr. D" has been in the DA Fine Arts Department since 1988, but as the husband of language teacher Claudia Lyons, we saw him as a founding member of the faculty band known as the "Punkadelics".  Who were the other band members? Any favorite memories of Punkadelics performances?  Leave a comment....

Past and present

Twice a year the KFC (Koch Friday Concert) takes place at DA.  Started by David Dickinson and Claudia Lyons in 2008 (yes, they are still there!) its basically an open mike night for DA students.  Thirty Four acts signed up to play at the winter version, held in the atrium "star-field" of the Koch Center for Science, Math and Technology. Eric Suher was able to scout the local musical talent while also bumping into current Deerfield junior Jean-Francois Roberts, son of Davis!
