IMEA Choir Auditions
PREPARED
SELECTIONS In the prepared selection audition
room, you will need to perform excerpts from two of the six IMEA choir
pieces. Two out of those six pieces are
required by the state (that is, they will be performed by the All State Choirs
at the All State Festival). One of those
two required pieces will be selected for the audition by the state selection
committee. The other audition piece is
determined by the IMEA choir directors on the audition day. It may be the other state required selection
or it may be one of the other pieces chosen by the festival director.
Required state selections (at least one of these
pieces will be used for the district audition):
At the
Round Earth’s Imagined Corners – Williametta Spencer
