These choirs are both statewide auditioned ensembles. Meaning students from the entire state of Kansas send in audition MP3's and all submissions go through a blind audition scoring process. Top scores are accepted into each choir. Students may only audition for one of these choirs as they happen at the same time. Ms. Z or your private voice instructor can help you choose which choir is better for you to audition for. 

​

Both of these are held on Friday February 24th in Witchita, KS at the Century II Performing Arts Center. Students will rehearse in the morning and have a performance that evening. See below for more info about each choir.

  • Students must learn music on their own at home using practice tracks and sheet music.
