The High School Honors Chorus Workshop is returning to the Hayes School of Music at Appalachian State University! Saturday, September 12, 2026 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Students will spend the afternoon with Dr. Jordan Shomper (Director of Choral Activities) working on the audition repertoire, discussing strategies, and participating in a mock audition experience to help them feel prepared and confident.
