The Texas All-State Choirs are some of the most prestigious in the nation. The audition process begins early in the school year with over 20,000 students state-wide participating and is narrowed down to 500 through a series of auditions in the following months. Earning a spot in the Texas All-State Choir is an outstanding accomplishment. All-State students are given special consideration when auditioning for college music scholarships, which are awarded to music and non-music majors. Students will grow tremendously in their singing and music reading skills as they participate in the process.
Who is Eligible to Audition: All choir students in grades 9 – 12 are eligible. Chorale students are STRONGLY encouraged to participate.
Dates & What to Expect at Auditions / Clinics / Rehearsals:
District Choir Auditions ….. September 10 ….. 7am-4pm ….. Caney Creek HS Any member of the TWCP Choral program is eligible to audition for the District Choir. The District Choir is not a performing choir.
