ALL-STATE HONOR CHOIRS

by Susie Martone and Angelina Fitzhugh

Thank you to everyone who made the return to an in-person All-State a reality this year. We were overwhelmed with the artistry we witnessed in rehearsals and on stage, and we’re so grateful for the growth our All-State students experienced. It took a huge team of people to make this event possible - guest directors, collaborative pianists, managers, chaperones, families, and all of the directors who prepared and supported their All-State students! We appreciate each and every one of your contributions.

A survey went out in early March to All-State students, parents/guardians, and directors to help us plan for next year’s event. We take your feedback seriously and are already working to improve the All-State experience. The 2023 All-State Honor Choirs will take place at CASMEC in Fresno from February 16-18, 2023, with guest directors Ms. Connie Drosakis (Junior High SATB), Dr. Lynnel Joy Jenkins (High School SSAA), Dr. Jefferson Johnson (High School TTBB), and Dr. Betsy Cook Weber (High School SATB).

We are hopeful for a return to the traditional regional honor choir model in the fall of 2022. Please keep an eye on your e-mail and the CCDA All-State Honor Choir website (calcda.org/all-state) for an update on the fall events, including audition information, by the end of the school year. 
