TMEA All State Information
What is the All State Choir?
What is the process?
There are four auditions in the All-State process. Students will learn 3-4 choir pieces per audition for their specific voice part.
District: All academically eligible students enrolled in choir are eligible for this audition. They must pass the THS choir benchmarks.
Region: 72 Treble students per section and 50 Tenor Bass students per section will advance to the second round of auditions. This round will determine the region Treble and Mixed choir participants.
Pre-Area: The top 20 chairs in each section of the All-Region Mixed Choir advance to the Pre-Area audition. This audition will also have a sightreading portion.
Area; The top 5 singers from each section represent our Region at the Area auditions. This audition determines their participation in the All State Choir at the Texas Music Educators' Convention in San Antonio.
*All auditions will be in person.
What do I need?
Music: Students need to purchase their own music. They can buy it for each audition or they can buy a packet with all of the pieces. I will have pdfs available while you wait on your order. You do need real music for the audition. Music is $8 - $10 per audition or $18 for the entire packet. You can purchase it from JW Pepper,, AMC Music or The Music Rack
Rehearsal tracks: I have the rehearsal tracks in a google folder that students may download or stream on their devices. I can also make a cd if that is the best way for students to rehearse. We will have a district workshop on August 7th (see below) and after school rehearsals. They are open to all choir students.
Fees: $20.00 entry fee. $22.00 Region participation fee if the student participates in Region weekend.
If the cost might prohibit you from participating, please let Mr. Michaelis or Mrs. Brewer know and we will make arrangements.
