All-State Chorus Selected Participants (updated 7/6/2008)

1. The All-State Chorus will be comprised of SATB voices that have received the highest scores during the auditions. The All-State Women’s Chorus will be comprised of a balanced group of female students who have received the second highest scores in their respective voice parts. No alternate All-State or All-State Women’s Chorus members will be selected nor may any teacher make any substitutions. Failure to comply with the substitution rule will result in the substituted students not being allowed to participate in the All-State weekend and their school being suspended for the next academic year.
2. Selected participants will be posted on the website. A package with scoring sheets, cut-off scores, and other information will be mailed to each director after auditions have been completed. It is the responsibility of the director to double-check the scores and notify students of their acceptance into the All-State Choirs. If you do not receive a packet or have questions about scores, please contact Diane MacFarlane, Audition Coordinator.
3. Teachers are responsible for the preparation of the music by their students prior to the All-State weekend. In the event an unbalanced group is chosen from any one school, cooperative learning rehearsals may be conducted by combining two or more schools. Teachers should not expect students to learn the music entirely independently. Practice CD’s will be available for purchase to assist in preparing music. Information on ordering CD’s will be posted on the website and distributed at Choral Arts Seminar.
4. Any school whose selected participants are unable to attend the All-State weekend are expected to notify the All-State Chairman two weeks prior to the All-State weekend. Schools failing to comply may not be allowed to participate in All-State Auditions the
   next academic year.
