All-State Choirs

The KMEA All-State Choirs perform each year at the annual In-Service Workshop. Students are selected via a rigorous audition process that starts at the district level. Students with the top audition scores who perform at the district level are then eligible for selection to the All-State Choirs. Thus, the All-State student musicians are truly “the best of the best.”

Audition Registration
Registration for KMEA District and KMEA All-State Choirs will be managed in the KMEA Members portal. One registration covers both levels of consideration, district and state. The regular registration deadline is 11:59:59 PM CT on Sunday, October 11, 2026. Online entries can be made after that point for higher audition fees. Refer to your KMEA district for fee levels, which are based on entry time-stamps. For all entries, the sponsoring director must be a member of KMEA.

Students may use the Application Worksheet to assist teachers with preparing for registration, as well as for on-site registration at district auditions.

• Every student singing in the District or All-State Choirs will have published copies of each piece of music.
