Chorus
DeLand's chorus program, led by Melinda O'Neil, is an exceptional program that has gained recognition throughout Florida. Recent performances include Disney's Candlelight, Winter Concerts, luncheons throughout Volusia County, regional and state Music Performance Assessments (MPAs), and in-school performances. In the 2009-2010 year, the choral program at DeLand High School sent 11 musicians to the statewide All-State competition, which is extremely rigorous. The choral program at DeLand High School includes the General Chorus, Men's Ensemble, Quintessentials, DHSingers, the Woman's Chorale, and the Concert Choir.

Famous quotes containing the word chorus:
“Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy.... In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
“Consensus is what many people say in chorus but do not believe as individuals.”
—Abba Eban (b. 1915)
