What is the All-Region Choir?
Students have the opportunity to learn high-school level music to audition to make this prestigious choir. Making the All-Region Choir is the highest level of middle school music a student can earn in their MS years.

Over 1,000 students audition!
Students that have made the All-Region choir in middle school have gone to succeed very far in the high school All-State process as well.
