DMACC Choirs/Drama

DMACC offers Concert Choir (MUS 143), a two-credit, elective course on the Ankeny and Boone Campuses. See the current DMACC Course Schedule for times. Also, Ankeny Campus offers, by audition, Chamber Ensemble (MUS 150—formerly Chamber Choir) for one credit. All persons who audition for Chamber Ensemble must register for Concert Choir first. Volunteer/noncredit choral ensembles, which do not require choir registration, are organized on the Ankeny Campus. For more information, call 515-964-6633 or visit www.dmacc.edu/music.

The DMACC drama program offers opportunities for students to gain practical experience in theatre production. Students can earn college credit in a variety of areas, including acting, lighting, costumes, promotion, directing and scenery work. In addition, annual student playwriting contests at the Ankeny Campus allow students to see their work produced. Course offerings include acting, playwriting, elements of production and Intro to the Theatre, which provides a survey of theatre history.

DMACC also offers the opportunity for musicians to participate at the Boone Campus in the DMACC Bears Pep Band.
