Our new Performance Hall will truly be a multi-purpose room. This week, I want to focus on how it will be used for Fine Arts. We will host vocal music concerts, show choir performances, band concerts, drama performances, and more. The retractable stadium-seating will hold over 700 comfortably with room for 500 more chairs on the floor in front of the stage.
I am most excited that our actors will be able to rehearse on their home stage throughout the entire rehearsal season. I am also excited to get more students involved in the technical aspects of a play or musical with sound and lights. Manda Miller, Drama Director
The new performance hall will allow our show choir the space and equipment it needs to prepare our show. I am beyond excited for the students and program to have a space to learn, perform, and grow in! Anne Chittenden, HS Show Choir Director
Help Us Furnish the Performance Hall
In order to have the performance hall ready for the beginning of the school year, we need to raise $360,000 for sound and lighting equipment and $230,000 for bleacher seating.
It will be awesome to be able to have our own space to perform and rehearse in for concerts, show choir, and drama. I'm excited to be able to have an actual auditorium so we don't have to carry those risers into the gym from the choir room anymore...and for performing, of course. Hannah Benninghoven (Class of '18)
The performance hall will provide wonderful opportunities and growth for DMC students, especially those involved in fine arts. I am extremely excited to see what the future holds! Linette Leng (Class of '18)
I will be able to perform on the new stage my whole high school life! Eli Miller (Class of '22)
The new performance hall will create wonderful opportunities for our students to showcase the talents the Lord has given them. We're excited about how this facility will provide even greater possibilities for music and drama performances at DMCS! Elaine Hagenberg, JH/HS Vocal Music
The new hall will allow students to practice where we perform, and the stage extension means we get to dream big when it comes to instruments, acting, dancing, and singing! Danielle Boley, Elementary Music
This new facility will complement the outstanding work our band students are already doing. Rob Lane, JH/HS Band Instructor
My next update in two weeks will focus on the new concessions area.
