District fine arts leaders outline revised options like shorter halftimes and pregame shows, while parents continue organizing petitions for better performance slots. 
• Canstruction Dallas returns to NorthPark Center to fight hunger (nbcdfw.com) — A massive canned-food art exhibit at NorthPark Center in Dallas is raising money and donations for the North Texas Food Bank, highlighting how serious hunger is in our region.
