Concert Series
In order to raise awareness of arts at Don Bosco Prep, the music department and alumni have begun a series of concerts. Some of these concerts feature religious or classical music and are included in the "Mary, Help of Christians Chapel Concert Series." Other concerts, organized by the alumni association, present more contemporary music. Billed artists have included:
- John Pizzarelli (who graduated in 1977) and Bucky Pizzarelli, famed jazz artists
- Liza Minnelli, winner of the Tony, the Emmy, the Oscar, and the Grammy
- Chanticleer, San Francisco all-male a cappella choir
- Philip Smith, Principal Trumpeter of the New York Philharmonic
- Gordon Turk, concert organist
- Yale Whiffenpoofs, the oldest U.S. collegiate a cappella group

Famous quotes containing the words concert and/or series:
“Science is unflinchingly deterministic, and it has begun to force its determinism into morals. On some shining tomorrow a psychoanalyst may be put into the box to prove that perjury is simply a compulsion neurosis, like beating time with the foot at a concert or counting the lampposts along the highway.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
