Many of our students have been preparing for the All-State Choir process this summer, and the first round of auditions is just four weeks away! If you plan to audition, don’t worry, it’s not too late to get started.

What to Do:

1. Pick up an All-State Info Packet in the Choir Room. This packet includes the required contract to participate in auditions. The $30 fee is due August 27.

2. Get your audition music: If you haven’t purchased it yet, call or visit purchase the music online here.

3. Access practice tracks: students can find the practice tracks in their Schoology course.

If you’re interested in participating, there’s still time to prepare, but you must start ASAP. See Mr. Stultz or Mrs. Berger for more information.

Voice lessons on campus during the school day will begin soon this semester. If you are interested in voice lessons during the school day, after school, or at a private teacher’s home, please let Mr. Stultz or Mrs. Berger know.

An interest form was included in the beginning-of-year packet, and you can also fill out the form below for more information or to sign up. We have outstanding voice teachers who work with Klein Choir students, and we highly recommend voice lessons for anyone looking to improve their skills!

We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s spring choir trip is taking us to Corpus Christi, Texas! This trip will be open to all choir students!
