All-State Information
What is the All State Choir?
Each fall, over 70,000 Texas high school students begin the All-State audition process. 1,810 are ultimately selected to rehearse and perform during the annual TMEA Clinic/Convention in one of 18 Texas All-State ensembles, including four choirs: Mixed Choir, Treble Choir, Tenor-Bass Choir, Small School Mixed Choir. This is achieved through a four round audition process. Last year TMHS had two All-State mixed choir members!
What is the process?
The auditions are similar to junior high Region, but there are are four rounds of auditions in the All-State process. Students will learn 3-4 choir pieces per audition for their specific voice part.
- District September 19th @Conroe HS: Any student wishing to begin the process must audition first at District. You must be academically eligible to participate and have gone through the TMHS District Mock Auditions.
- Region October 24th @TMHS: 72 Treble students per section and 50 Tenor Bass students per section will advance to the second round of auditions. This round will determine the region Treble and Mixed choir participants that will perform with a notable clinician. If you are selected for a Region choir, you must participate in Region weekend (November 13th & 14th).
- Pre-Area December 1st @The Woodlands HS: The top 18 (tenor bass) or 20 (treble) chairs in each section of the All-Region Mixed Choir advance to the Pre-Area audition. This audition will also have a sightreading portion.
- Area January 9th @The Woodlands HS: The top 5 singers from each section represent our Region at the Area auditions. This audition determines their participation in the All State Choir at the Texas Music Educators' Convention in San Antonio (February 11th - 14th).
What do I need?
- Music: Students may purchase their own music or purchase from us. Packets are $28-29 not including shipping at amcmusic.net, or $25 from TMHS Choir.
- Rehearsal tracks: We have the rehearsal tracks in a google folder that students may download or stream on their devices. There are also links below. We will have a district workshop on August 15 that is free for any student wishing to participate in the process. There are also many other camps and workshops locally that we will advertise throughout the year.
What is the cost?
TMHS Choir will cover the audition fee for any student wishing to audition. Per the TMHS Choir Handbook, if the student chooses to enter a competition and does not participate in said contest, the student must reimburse said fees, no matter the reason.
Cost of music is above. Students auditioning must have original copies of the music, scans are not allowed.
Students auditioning for the all-state process must complete the google form below by Friday, August 28th.
