All-State is the highest honor a Texas music student can receive. Texas Music Educators Association, or TMEA, is responsible for the auditions and concerts for Texas All-Region and Texas All-State Choirs. KISD competes in TMEA Region 30 Large School All-State Auditions. There are four audition levels in the All-State process. The final audition determines membership in the All-State Choirs.
For many of our students, the journey to All-State begins with attendance at one of the many summer camps offered in Texas. Camps fill up quickly, so please register early if interested.
Procedures for Auditioning:
- Purchase your music and learn it. All-State music packets can be purchased from
JW Pepper or from Penders Music - Practice tracks are available in the KHS Choir Google Classroom
- See the Notes about the Vocal Recordings
- Check the TMEA All-State page for updates and additional notes
- Complete an All-State Audition Form and turn in with your $20 registration fee

**Having moved to virtual auditions for the entire
duration of the Texas All-State Choir process during the 2020-2021 school year due to COVID-19, there will be no Sight Reading component for any duration.**
