Roaring Fork
High School Choirs
American Choral Directors' Association
Southwest Regional Honor Choirs
Little Rock, Arkansas - March 4-8, 2020
​
Each student is interested in Colorado All State (COASC) or in the American Choral Directors Association Honor Choirs (ACDA) will be paired with a piece that best suits your voice and vocal style. Remember, just because you love, like, or don't like it, doesn't mean it isn't what is best suited for your instrument to show you off for your audition! If you'd like to try a different piece due to difficulty, language, etc. just let me know! Remember to practice (and not just the week before)!!
​
Each person will have a name, choir, voice part to audition on, solo title, and location of the solo (which book). You also have a link to a private resource that will have IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), a pronunciation track for the language, accompaniment tracks, and rehearsal tracks for your solo. If any of those things do not work for some reason, let me teacher know. Best of luck!
