Middle School All-Region Choir is an exciting opportunity for Hillwood Singers to audition for an honor choir made up of talented middle school singers from across TMEA Region 30. Students from 28 school districts and nearly 90 middle schools have the opportunity to audition, making this a competitive and rewarding experience.
