CMEA All-State 2023 Audition Materials (2/4/23)

All-State Auditions resemble Regional Auditions. You are now competing for a spot (All-State) against students who made regional honor choirs in each region (North, South, East, West)

Auditioning students will:

1. Sing D/G Scales and Arpeggios

2. Sing "My Spirit Sang All Day" (by Gerald Finzi)

3. Sight Read Eight Measures

2023 SR Practice Examples

There are two main differences in the All-State Audition (from the Regional Audition)

1. You will sing a choral piece (you sing your line against the other three parts)

2. The sight reading is more challenging (more intervallic diversity)
