Fine arts

Ankeny has three competitive show choirs, "Visual Adrenaline" and "Perpetual Motion" as well as the all-treble clef "Intensity".[9] With the opening of Ankeny Centennial in 2013, some inside the show choir program wanted to end the history of the three groups and start fresh with new directors and new names. The Ankeny Community School District cited a 2009 precedent in a 2011 move to disallow any potential attempted name changes.[10] Visual Adrenaline has won national-level competitions before.[11]
