Every Fall, over 14,000 high school choral music students from across the state of Texas begin the audition process in hopes of becoming a member of the Texas All-State Choir.
Harlingen High School and Harlingen High School South Choir students have been preparing since August for auditions to be part of the Texas All-State Choir. The process begins with Texas Music Educators Association regional auditions, where singers are ranked, and the top-ranking individuals qualify to participate in the TMEA area competition. If they advance at the area competition, they go on to be part of the Texas All-State Choir.
This year as a result of Pre-Area Auditions that took place during the month of November, HHS is sending five candidates and three alternates while HHSS is sending three candidates and one alternate to the TMEA area competition. Area Vocal Auditions will take place January 7, 2017, in Rockport, Texas.
