You will receive information about our program, Booster Club, pay for Chorale polos and other fees, receive information about All-State auditions, voice lessons, and much more. Students will receive their uniforms at Kickoff as well. We heavily encourage all parents and students to attend to ensure we start the school year of right!

Many of our students have been preparing for the All-State Choir process this summer and the first round of auditions is only 4 weeks away! If you plan on auditioning, don't worry it is not too late!

What To Do:

1. Pick up an All-State Info Packet in the Choir Room. This has the contract that is required to participate in All-State Auditions. The $30 Fee is due August, 29.
2. If you don't have the audition music yet, call or visit The Music Rack on Kuykendahl, across from Strack, to purchase the all-state music as soon as possible. Click HERE to purchase the music online.
3. Join our All-State Remind Group (@ktmea2425)

If you are doing the all-state process and still do not have access to the practice tracks click HERE for those materials. More information can be found at kleinhighchoir.com/all-state-info or in Schoology.

If you are interested there is still time to prepare the music, however, you must begin ASAP. See Mr. Stultz or Mrs. Berger for more information.

Voice lessons on campus during the school day will start soon this semester. Please let Mr. Stultz or Mrs. Berger know if you are interested in voice lessons during the school day, after school, or at a voice teacher's home. There was a voice lesson interest form included in our beginning-of-year form packet as well. If you are interested or want more info, fill out this interest form below. We have outstanding voice teachers who work with our Klein Choir students. We cannot recommend voice lessons enough for our students who are interested in improving their skills!
