Many of us who passed through the doors of Dondero High School had the great fortune to participate in the annual Dondero Pop Concert. I decided to put this site together as a thank you and dedication to Mr. Rick Hartsoe, those who helped him with charting and transcriptions, and all of the students in choir, band, and orchestra as well as the countless musicians who would come out of the woodwork to take part in this annual tradition. The goal being to keep these pop concert memories alive for those who want to relive the concerts you took part in or attended and to give a sweet blast of nostalgia. For those of you who are still making music....Rock on!

Please note: The files on this site are highly compressed audio due to loading/playback concerns (22Hz FM Quality). Additionally, some of the older concerts are unfortunately victim to the recording equipment available at the time they were recorded. But it will still bring you back!

Currently the files below are playback only.  I need to find a new music manager that will allow you to download the files, but for now you can find the concert you want to hear and click PLAY for the year you're interested in (currently 1967 to 1983).  Currently you're not able to FFWD through the file.  I'll try to fix that soon too. I am NOT a web designer if that's not already obvious! If you have any questions or comments please email me at david@stompboxband.com Thx,
David Riley
