COVID-19 UPDATE: Interactions are going to look different than they have in the past, but I think we are going to discover that we have an AWESOME Choir community here at DMA! We use Band and Schoology as our primary means of interaction, so I encourage you to go there and check it regularly. The following excerpt is from the most recent Commandant's Corner:
DMA Concert Choir meets once a day for 45 minutes during the 'mini block'.
The DMA Choir appears regularly throughout the state of Delaware and is much more than a regular 'school choir'. One of our main goals is to serve the community by performing at the September 11th ceremony, Veterans Day ceremony at Wilmington Western Railroad, various assisted living homes, community ceremonies, Blue Rocks baseball games, the New Castle County Police Graduation, as well as DMA's own concerts.
Every spring, the DMA Concert Choir and DMA Marching Band go on a trip together. DMA Choir members are eligible to audition for Delaware All-State Senior Choir, an elite group of singers from across the state of Delaware.
In 2015, the DMA Choir was awarded a Certification of Appreciation from the New Castle County Police Department.
Cadets interested in participating should add Choir to their schedule by the 2nd week in September and pay dues by the end of the same month. Contact Mr. Grant or Mrs. Certesio to add choir to your schedule.
Cadets and their parents / guardians should click join the "band" group to stay informed. Parents / Guardians should use their own name (reference cadets last name if different)
