NMACDA Youth All-State Festival

Event categories: participation optional, auditioned, $

The Youth All-State Festival is presented by the New Mexico American Choral Director's Association (NMACDA). It is an opportunity for young singers to perform challenging music in a highly selective ensemble. Being selected to participate in All-State is a huge honor.

There are two Youth All-State Choirs. The Elementary All-State Choir is made up of students in grades 4-6. The Youth All-State Choir is made up of students in grades 7-9.

This event is often confused with the State Choir Contest. The State Choir Contest is a competition. All-State is an intensive educational weekend for choir students from across the state. 

The Youth All-State Festival usually takes place at the Las Cruces Convention Center in late January.​
2021-2022 Event Logistics
The dates for the 2021-2022 NMACDA Youth All-State Festival are January 27-January 29, 2022. This year's event will be held in Albuquerque, so expenses will be reduced for eligible EMS Choir students. We estimate the participation fee will be between $75-$100. We will communicate additional details to the families of selected students in late November. All-State has been canceled for 2021-2022.

Auditioning
Audition requirements. There is no fee to audition, however interested students must submit an audition video recording featuring their performance of the following:

  • “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” a cappella.
  • Annually assigned audition piece.

**Please note: All choir students will record an All-State audition solo for a class grade.​**
