Texas All State Choir 2024-2025
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.
