TMEA All-State Process  

• • • • • Attending All-State summer camps is beneficial to any student wanting to earn a spot in the All-State Honor Choir. These camps offer a variety of techniques, voice lessons, and artistic tools, while working on the All-State music. Students also get the opportunity to meet students and choir directors across Texas that share the same passion for choral music!

• Registration for some summer camps opens as early as Jan 1, and the best camps fill very quickly.    

  •  Popular University camps like Univ. North Texas and Baylor typically open registration Jan 1, and mid-Feb.

      This is organized by the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA).

      Register for these with your High School Choir Director.
