Holcomb Audition Cuts (You MUST audition for Holcomb before or after school to be registered for official auditions!)
Sing the first 1/3 or so of each piece for Holcomb. The idea is to know you've been practicing, not to gatekeep any potential auditions.
All-State Auditions @ Eudora Middle School
All students will arrive early in the morning at WRHS, 8:45am on Saturday, Nov. 8th. We take a bus to Eudora. Every student is given an order in which they audition. Students will sing cuts that will be determined a week or two before the audition. Auditions also include sight reading, which is practiced in class. They day is usually done by 2:00pm, returning at 3:00pm or so.
The top 15 scoring students from each voice part will be placed in the district choir at Topeka High on Sat, Dec. 6th. The top 5 students from each voice part will be invited to the All-State Choir in February (26th-28th, 2026). All-State members MUST attend the district choir to sing with the all state choir.
Cost
The choir program will pay for your registration fee. If you back of auditions, then you are required to pay the $10 registration fee (or more if you back out closer to the deadline).
