2025 North Carolina Elementary Honors Chorus
2025 North Carolina Elementary Honors Chorus
November 8-9, 2025 (Winston-Salem, NC)
November 8-9, 2025 (Winston-Salem, NC)
North Carolina Elementary Honors Chorus is an auditioned choir comprising of 4th-6th grade students from across the state, chosen specifically to perform at the NCMEA Conference each year. The typical number of students selected are 175. Each school is allowed to send in auditions for six (6) students. I will record these auditions after school in the music room with each student individually in mid September and I upload the recordings to a secure music scoring website. State judges score each recording anonymously and then the teacher is notified if any students were selected by early October.
If accepted into the choir, singers will have to learn six (6) pieces of music (we will rehearse this together at school) and come to Winston-Salem the weekend of November 8-9, 2025. Singers will spend that Saturday working with a nationally renowned choral clinician to refine their music and will then present a concert on Sunday, Nov. 9.

The North Carolina Elementary Honors Chorus is a statewide elementary school honors chorus that is composed of the best elementary singers in North Carolina. Students are selected through a rigorous audition process beginning here at Eaton and finalizing with a taped audition assessed by a statewide panel of judges. If selected, these students will perform a classical chorus concert for the North Carolina Music Educator’s State Conference held in Winston-Salem in November.
