All-State

Students interested in auditioning for the MN All-State Choirs should first make sure they are available during the summer camp. Information can be found here.

All auditionees must prepare a solo, Alma del Core selection, and scale to match their voice part. Alma del Core and scale audition materials are available here.

If a student is studying with a private voice teacher, they can audition using a song prepared in lessons. If a student is not studying with a voice teacher, they should arrange a weekly time to prepare with me or Mr. Geiger. These preparations must start no later than Jan. 25.

These are tracks for students interested in auditioning for All-State.  These are some songs that are possibilities.

Selected auditionees will be responsible for paying their audition and accompanist (if needed) fees. CRHS will cover your camp fee if you are accepted.
