Timber Creek Choir students advanced past the second round of auditions for the All-State choir over the weekend of Oct. 16.
Over 40 of our students made it past round one and on to this second audition, more than any other high school in the region. Each round of auditions takes fewer and fewer people, at this round only the top chairs in each voice section advanced.
Freshman Avian Pham, who took 31st chair for the Alto 1 section, explained her mindset for this round of competition, “It’s a lot more competitive at this round and only a couple of us advance, so it’s a little nerve-wracking. I’m not sure I can make it all the way, but I can try.”
The singers who qualified are now a part of the Region mixed choir, which is a group of some of the best high school choir students in the North Texas area. They will be performing all together to showcase their talents later on in the semester.
Choir students who advanced will now begin to prepare for the next round, Pre-Area, which will be held on Nov. 18. Only the top 5 chairs will make it past the next round, which will be more challenging than the two prior but will hopefully lead to a spot in the All-State choir.
