DCPS Let's Go-Go Band

For the second year, the Capital City Go-Go is excited to partner with DC Public Schools (DCPS) for Let's Go-Go with Capital City Go-Go! This program is an opportunity for DCPS students to express their artistic talents through music and have it displayed on a large platform through a Go-Go game.

Students from various schools have come together to learn, compose, and rehearse an original go-go piece that will have a debut performance from the student musicians at the Capital City Go-Go game on March 29th, 2025.

Go-Go fans can support this program by purchasing special ticket packages that will contribute $5 from every ticket to go toward the DCPS Let's Go-Go program.
