    What is this event?       

    The Alabama All-State Choral Festival is a three-day event culminating in a professionally recorded concert.  The festival is an opportunity for students with outstanding ability and initiative to sing under the direction of nationally recognized choral clinicians, perform choral literature of the highest quality, and receive public recognition for their achievements.

    Who should audition?       

    Any choral student with director approval (students with excessive absences or discipline referrals will not be approved).  Students who enjoy learning challenging choral literature will especially enjoy this experience. 

    What do I have to do to audition?

    Students will learn 5 to 7 pieces of choral music (on their own time).  Students will audition on their voice part in front of an adjudicator.
