Throughout the summer, many of our students begin preparing for the TMEA All-State auditions by taking advantage of the wonderful teaching and performance opportunities offered through All-State Choir Camps that occur around the state. These camps, hosted by state and private Universities, offer students an opportunity to learn the All-State literature in a group environment from experienced educators. Camps are 2-4 days in length and vary in price according to the university and housing needs. Many of these camps conclude with a “concert” that is recorded and open to the public. Attendance at one of these camp not only provides a huge boost to the student in the all-state process but also enriches them with wonderful musical and social experiences.
