All- State chorus 2024-2025

Initial information

All-State Chorus is sponsored by the Georgia Music Educators Association and is a big honor for those who are selected to be involved. This event requires two rounds of auditions- the first for selection, and the second for music pass-off. Both will be located off campus at different high schools. The dates for these auditions are found at the bottom of this letter. There are neither make-ups nor refunds for the auditions, so students need to check their calendars before committing.  If your student makes All-State by passing both auditions, they will then go to Athens in February to participate in one of the best choral experiences of their lifetime. They will sing with hundreds of other students from all over Georgia in one concert.

There are a few requirements for being able to try out for All-State.  Your student must sign up on our form located on the top of this page by August 23rd, then turn in a $25.00 registration fee by September 6th by the end of the day. Payments should be made on MyPaymentsPlus. Please note, My Payments Plus will not be available until after the form due date because we have to turn these names into our bookkeeper.

Every student who attends the tryout must sing one prepared solo (pre-selected), sight-read three different four measure examples, and sing a major, minor, and chromatic scale. All of the audition requirements can be taught and practiced with us before school.  We are available to meet with any student on most Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings at 8:15. 

This is your child’s investment. We will not hunt your child down if they are not at practice. We are here for all of the students who would like the extra assistance. Please stress to your student that this is a big commitment of time and rehearsal.

We will give the times for the first audition as soon as we receive them.
