Delaware All-State Senior Choir is open by audition to any 9th-12th grade public, private or parochial student in the State of Delaware who participates in his or her school choir. For students to be eligible, the teacher/director of the qualifying ensemble must be a member of DMEA. Every year approximately 500 students audition for the mixed choir and treble choir, and between 200-250 students are selected to participate. A guest conductor is brought in to work with the students and a concert is given following two days of intense rehearsal. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to meet students from other schools, learn about what other choirs in the state are doing and work with a guest conductor who will no doubt bring another perspective to the choral art. 

Conductors will be announced soon!
​

All State Chorus will be held Thursday, Feb 23, 2023 8:30 AM - Saturday, Feb 25, 2023 9:10 PM.
