Students from all around the state gathered at various high schools to audition for the All-State Music Festival on Saturday, October 24th. Students start preparing months in advance for a five minute audition in front of a judge who scores and selects which musicians are accepted. This year, out of the students City sent, 27 were accepted into the All-State Band, Choir and Orchestra.

“It’s an honor to be chosen for All-State,” says Sonali Durham ’16, “but I feel like the selection process can be unfair.”

The All-State performance will be November 21st, 2015.
