All State Chorus is an optional Honor Chorus opportunity for 7th and 8th graders that requires a series of auditions to qualify to attend.

In order to prepare for the first audition, we will be practicing in the Chorus room once a week both before school (7:45-8:15am) and after school (3:30-4:15) starting August 26.  While I recommend attending as many rehearsals as possible, I will require students to attend at least 4 morning rehearsals, or at least 3 afternoon rehearsals (at least 2 hours total of rehearsals). If attending an after-school rehearsal, students should be picked up no later than 4:30pm.

At the rehearsals, we will practice singing scales, sight reading, and singing a solo song (song to be determined). Students should practice these outside of school as well. The solo must be memorized to perform in front of judges.  The recordings for the solo will be posted on the SRMS Performing Arts website and on Google Classroom.  Students can also sign up for a time slot before and after school Tuesdays-Fridays to rehearse their solo with me.

​Auditions will be held at Union Grove High School on Saturday, November 9. The first audition fee is $25, due at the end of August.  The second audition will be held on January 16 at Eagles Landing High School.  The event will be February 27-29 at Athens Classic Center.  **If students make it through the second audition and decide not to go to the event, they are not permitted to audition next year.**
