Vocal Music

Dodge City Community College offers a wide variety of vocal music activities for students - music majors and non-majors alike.  Our music courses support the cultural and educational enrichment for both the DCCC campus and the Dodge City community and surrounding areas, while the students enjoy a fun and exciting experience themselves.  
 
Opportunities are available for participation in the vocal music program in the following ensembles:

Concert Choir

The DC3 Concert Choir represents students from various academic disciplines across campus and is open to all students.  The choir rehearses and performs both sacred and secular music from all style periods - from early music and classical masterpieces, to current popular and musical theater standards.  

College Singers

College Singers, whose members are selected by audition from the Concert Choir, rehearses and performs a wide variety of contemporary music from jazz and music theatre genres, as well as early madrigal music.  The group performs both on campus at concerts and at off-campus events throughout the community.
