SCMMEA 5-8 Grade Honor Choirs

South Central Missouri Music Educators Association

SCMMEA organizes two Honor Choir ensembles for students from 5th-8th grade. These large ensembles are made up of elementary and middle school students from all over south central Missouri. Selected members learn high quality choral literature to rehearse together with a guest director.

Selection into one of these ensembles is by Director Nomination. Houston students will be selected by Mr. Williams.

Students selected must attend an all day rehearsal with a guest conductor. At the end of that day's rehearsal, both large ensembles will perform in a concert that is open to the public.
