Area students selected for all-state choir

A total of 47 students from three area schools were selected as part of the 2022 All-State Choir Ensemble by the New Mexico Music Educations Association following auditions last month, according to an NMMEA release.

Students prepared a solo and audition piece, as well as sight-read in front of an adjudicator. Selection was based on the student's overall score from the auditions.

The students won’t have to go far to perform, with the NMMEA all-state conference and concert Jan. 8 at Eastern New Mexico University.
