The members of the Dana College Chorale — Dana's premier vocal ensemble — love to sing. As one the region's most esteemed musical groups, they get plenty of chances to do what they love. From hours of rehearsals to concerts as close as Dana's campus and as far away as Rebild, Denmark, the Chorale is in high demand. (This summer they will spend two weeks touring Northern Europe, including a performance at the largest U.S. Independence Day celebration outsite of the United States.)

And although the Dana College Chorale has achieved a level of excellence on par with groups from the largest universities, there is one important difference: All Chorale members have active lives, besides being in Chorale. As part of the overall Dana mission, Director Richard Palmer believes performing in the Chorale is an important part of a liberal arts education. Which means Chorale members can love music and love psychology (or economics or biology). Of the 35 Chorale members who have declared a major, music education leads the list (with 6 majors), but it's followed closely by elementary education (5 majors) and business administration (4 majors). The Chorale also boasts English majors, art majors and a computer science major, with 14 different academic majors represented in all. Chorale members are also active in other campus groups, including members of the men's soccer team, several Dana College Theater and Concert Band members and a writer for the student newspaper.
