Region Concert Choir Audition Info

WHAT IS CONCERT CHOIR?
The Region Concert Choir is open to all choir students in 9th and 10th grade as well as any 11th and 12th graders who are in their first year of high school choir. This track is not on the All-State track and has only one round of auditions (in October) and one performance (with the Region Mixed and Region Treble Choirs in November). The music for this choir is appropriately challenging music for our JV students. 

We are very excited that the Region Concert Choir is now an option for our JV students. Over the years, we have seen too many talented freshmen students who made Middle School Region Choir enter the high school All-State process only to find themselves overwhelmed by the difficulty of the music and surprised by the intensity of rehearsals and auditions. Because these talented students have a poor audition experience their freshmen year, they do not audition again later in their high school career even though their skills have progressed. Their freshmen experience tainted their impression of the audition process, and they never regain their interest in auditioning for Region/State again.

​The Region Concert Choir is designed to bridge the gap between Middle School Region Choir and the varsity-level Region/State Choir process. While we will support JV students who want to enter the varsity level process, we highly recommend these students to do at least one year of the Concert Choir audition process to build the skill set and rigorous practice habits needed for success, even those who made first chair in their middle school region audition. If it is up to us, all freshmen and most upperclassmen first year students will audition for the Region Concert Choir, and most students auditioning for the second year will audition for the varsity route. Nonetheless, this choice is one that each student makes, and we will support the decision. ​
