Auditions for the 2009 All-State Chorus were held November 6-11 at the USC School of Music in Columbia, SC. Students from across the state auditioned and were selected for two choruses -- one SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) chorus, and one all female SSA (soprano 1, soprano 2, alto) chorus. The students will meet March 19-21 at Winthrop University for rehearsals in preparation for a concert which will be presented at 4:00 p.m. on March 21. Guest clinicians for this event will be Z. Randall Stroope, composer and Director of Choral Studies at Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ; and Dr. Hilary Apfelstadt, director of Choral Activities at Ohio State University.
The All-State Chorus program was organized to provide an opportunity for superior choral students in South Carolina to sing together and to represent the state in statewide events. Students who participate in All-State have an opportunity to further utilize the skills obtained and developed in their local school programs. The South Carolina All-State Chorus program provides an intensive and demanding vocal experience, which fosters self-discipline and personal growth as well as musicianship.
