All-State Choir Information

All Students in the Centennial HS Choral Department are encouraged to participate in the TMEA Region Audition process. The work done in preparation for these auditions does much to improve your musicianship and earns you points for advancement within the Choral Department. The All-State audition process is rigorous and requires a commitment of time and energy over an extended period for you to be successful. Practice intelligently and practice often. Students will not be successful by waiting until the last minute and trying to learn your music. Varsity Choir Members are strongly encouraged to participate in this process.

Practice Files are posted on the CHARMS Website. Log-In and enter the "Handouts" section to find the files you will need to use for your individual use. Download the files for the piano part and those that pertain to the voice part you wish to audition. Be responsible for monitoring the TMEA website for notes and changes to your audition music. 

A rehearsal schedule will be posted in the choir room to assist students in their preparation for these rigorous auditions.

Audition & Concert Information

Below is a list of the audition music that will be used for each round of the All-State Choir audition process. Please use this list and the handouts provided to the left, to guide your practice and preparation time. Rehearsal CDs have been secured for your use and are available in the Choir Room.  Please make sure that you have taken time to number the measures in each of your scores and have used the TMEA Errata Notes to correct any errors in your score.
