Texas All State Choir 2023
Each year the Texas Music Educator's Association or TMEA creates the opportunity for high school singers across the state to compete for the chance to be a member of the All State Choir. Members of the choir are involved in a rigorous audition process resulting in a performance in San Antonio, Texas with the top high school vocalists in the state. This is the highest honor a Texas music student can receive and something we highly encourage PHS singers to participate in.
​
TMEA is responsible for the auditions and concerts for Texas All-Region and Texas All-State Choirs. PISD competes in TMEA Region 24 Large School All-State Auditions. Students perform selected music for a panel of judges who rank each voice part. From this ranking, a select group of musicians advances from their Region to TMEA Area competitions. There are four audition levels in the All-State process. The final audition determines membership in the All-State Choirs.
