Starr’s Mill High School announced that 32 choral students have been chosen to represent Starr’s Mill High School in the Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) All-State Chorus.

Being selected to the GMEA All-State Chorus is one of the highest honors for a high school singer. The first (regional) audition tests a student’s ability to sing scales, sing an aria with a beautiful tone and appropriate placement and breath support, demonstrate tonal memory and sight-read music at a high level of difficulty.

If after the first audition the student is accepted into an All-State Chorus, then the second and final audition is a test of the student’s knowledge of the music to be performed. The student must sing her/his part of the assigned All-State repertoire in front of judges and have a 70 percent or higher accuracy level. The All-State Chorus will perform in Savannah, Ga. Feb. 21-23.

The Starr’s Mill High School Chorus is under the direction of Dr. John Odom and Julia Lotti.
