All State Chorus Auditions and Prep

GMEA is currently planning to hold All State Chorus for the 2023/24 school year on February 15-17th 2024. Home school students, or students who attend a Middle or High School without a program giving you a path to All State Chorus have the opportunity to register and audition for Georgia All State Chorus through VOCE. Students who are planning to register through their school music program can attend our audition prep classes to help give them that extra boost! Each age range of 7/8th, 9/10th, and 11/12th have separate audition challenges and music. Each class will be specific to the requirements of the singer’s age group to best help them prepare.

Class Date Options: 9/10, 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/15

Class Times: 7th/8th – 1:00-1:45pm, 9th/10th – 1:45-2:30pm, 11th/12th – 2:30-3:15pm

VOCE has the ability to send up to 50 singers to audition for All State. This opportunity is open to all private voice students, anyone who registers for VOCE’s Advanced Voices, and singers who register for the All State Audition Prep classes.
