The Macomb Center is home to one of the finest show choirs in the state, The Macombers.

The Macombers
Family entertainment in a "something for everyone" performance best describes the highly choreographed show choir ensemble known throughout the state as the Macombers, the Goodwill Ambassadors of Macomb Community College.
Founded in 1970, the Macombers have grown in emphasis and stature. They are Michigan's oldest college show choir, and although constantly changing their musical selections and personnel, continue to receive rave reviews.
The group performs dozens of shows a year throughout the Detroit area and beyond. All members are full-time scholarship students at Macomb Community College. They have appeared with professional performers such as The Chieftains, Neil Sedaka, Judy Collins, Marvin Hamlisch and Tom Jones. The Macombers have performed for everyone from American Presidents and major corporations to local school children.
