my high school women's choir kicks this groups ass. We sang this, rehearsed it together 4 times, didn't use music in a single concert (our director thinks it makes the choir look un-prepared when they use music at a concert, so we aren't allowed to hold music) and have at most half the girls this has. We sang at Carnegie Hall in New York this spring. win yes?

@krmurphy1222 Carnegie is relative. My choir's been asked to sing there many times, as have many choirs from our area--oh by the way, we're from Texas--and Carnegie always bumps whatever choir for whatever reason, usually an act that can pay better. So, yay for money?

Not to discount the over-all experience and grandeur of your experience, but you did just diss the top singers in my state, so yeah....Congrats though! It still must've been really cool.

@showjumper659 I agree with you when it comes to the Area-audition they are very technical on who makes it to the mixed or men's and women's choir.....I like that we have the blind audition process..I'm a 4 year all-stater from 2000-2003 so I understand the process...not sure if its still the same but when I did TMEA...80% was singing and 20% was sight reading...I knew a girl my senior year who couldn't sight read but she could sing her butt off she made 4th chair sop 1 in my Area

@krmurphy1222 LOL! Right! And the desert is cold in August, ice cream doesn't melt, poop doesn't stink, blowhards don't blow. LOL! I think most people that can read this comments would consider your comment, a comment made by a fool who just doesn't get it and would discard it if offered to you! LOL!

It actually sounds like every other all-state choral ensemble... just full of divas who dont believe in blending.

the reason why Texas All-State is good is NOT because of how big the state is. I had a friend in my school choir that was from missouri and she told me that when she auditioned, it was on a recording. The process in Texas is way harder... I auditioned 2 years in a row and I only got to Pre-Area because my sight reading is horrible but I am proud to say that I tried my hardest and I KNOW that Texas is the best! You cannot say that unless you have tried it! :) peace

...you guys do realize that the *only* reason TX All-State is so good is that it's a huge state? I mean it's wonderful and you should be proud, but plenty of other states have fantastic All-State choirs, and they don't have nearly as big a pool as Texas to draw from. Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa come to mind.

@steelvenom2003

Niet, it's Texas has one of the hardest audition processes, it has nothing to do with the size, it's quality, not quantity. To get into the Texas All-State Mixed Choir as either an Alto or a Soprano, you'd better have a damn near perfect sight-singing score, which a lot of states do not even include in their audition process, which I just recently found out...?

showjumper659 8 months ago

@showjumper659 You honestly don't think that has anything to do with size? Texas can only be this selective because it's a huge state. Everything you said is only true because of Texas's size. Were you under the impression that South Dakota has enough singers to sift through a sight reading test? Of course not! There would be three singers left! TX's quality has everything to do with its quantity.
