The first round of the Texas Music Educators Association All-State Choir Auditions took place virtually last week. Students recorded audio auditions which were judged Saturday by a panel of expert choir directors and voice teachers. 35 DSHS Choir students participated in the audition process and submitted recordings to be considered in the first round of the audition process, called Region. Of these 35, 23 students earned a spot in the Region Choir, and will advance to the Pre-Area round of auditions. Of these 23 students, 12 students placed in the Top 5 chairs in their section.
