DSHS Choir hits note at All-State auditions

The Dripping Springs High School choir recorded strong performances in the first round of the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) All-State Choir auditions on Saturday, Oct. 9, at Bowie High School in Austin. Of the 28 DSHS students competing, 21 will perform in the All-Region Choir and 20 students will compete in the second round of auditions (pre area) in November.

To earn a spot in the Region Choir and advance to pre-area auditions, students must place among the top competitors in each voice part; the number varies by the number of students auditioning in that category.
