Information for All-State Auditionees
This year will, obviously, be very different than any other year. Always remember you are doing this to get better and singing and get more experience. You're added challenge is doing that during a pandemic that makes singing challenging. You're rock stars. Ask questions, take musical risks, and enjoy this ride - I'm here for you!

SOME IMPORTANT ADVICE
This is all about you OWNING YOUR LEARNING. This music will be a challenge for ALL of us, and will help us to become better musicians. This is about the PROCESS. This is about you becoming a better singer than when you started. Your work over the next few months should produce something that YOU are proud of, not your peers, not me, not a judge, JUST YOU. What you put in, is what you will get out. Work hard, enjoy the process, and appreciate the opportunity to LEARN this music, SING TOGETHER, and GROW. |
