2021 Fall Regional Choral Workshops
Fall Choral Workshop Details
On Saturday, October 9th, we will be hosting the CCDA Fall Regional Choral Workshop, a one-day, one-ensemble, in-person event, intended to function like a "normal honor choir" but with some modifications to maintain the health and safety of all involved. We are really excited about this event and hope that you will encourage your students to participate!
Unlike previous years, students' participation in Regional Honor Choir has no bearing on their ability to participate in All-State Honor Choir. There will be no auditions for the Choral Workshop (unless you choose to hold them yourself, as part of your nomination process), and there will be a separate audition for All-State Honor Choir.
There will also be a no audience-attended performance at the completion of the workshop, but we do intend to record a final performance of the repertoire that evening.

- All participants must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, by the date of the workshop, or must provide a negative COVID test taken within 48 hours before the workshop. Please make your students aware of this requirement. We will collect vaccination information in the registration process, and provide info about testing at that time.
- Students will prepare the 3 selected pieces before arriving at the workshop. One of the pieces will be the All-State audition piece, which can be shared with those not participating in the workshop so that they can prepare it for their auditions as well.
DIRECTIONS:
- Directors, you may nominate up to 12 of your honor choir-level student participants:
- Students you believe deserve and/or would benefit from this opportunity
- Students who can be there for the entirety of the event
- You do not need to send 12 nominees
- Rank your nominees 1-12 (1 = most eligible), but probably don't disclose your students' rankings to them directly.
- Submit your ranked nominees here by Wednesday, September 1st
- Please keep part balance in mind, and know that we will take as many as we can, from as many schools as possible, but we must maintain a balanced ensemble and a safe space for all participants.
- The ensemble list will be sent out, along with music and materials, on Wednesday, September 8th, with registration information to follow shortly after.
