There are three regional high school honor choir events for students in grades 9-12: Coastal, Central, and Southern/SCVA. Each regional event has a TTBB choir, an SSAA choir, and an SATB choir. Applicants audition in September to become a member of one of the state’s regional honor choirs in November. Students who have participated in a regional high school honor choir and have indicated that they wish to be considered for All-State will have their audition scores assessed for participation in the All-State Honor Choirs.
There are two Middle School/Junior High All-State Honor Choirs (SATB and SSAA) for students in grades 6-9. Auditions for these honor choirs will be submitted online in October.
The All-State Honor Choirs bring together the finest high school singers from the entire state of California to sing at the California All-State Music Education Conference each January.

Why Honor Choir? |
CCDA Position on Transgender Student EquityThe California Choral Directors Association commits to be inclusive for transgender or gender expansive students. CCDA affirms that students of any gender may audition for any CCDA honor choir that matches their vocal range. Thus, transgender and gender-expansive students may be placed in any honor ensemble in which they feel comfortable. However, it would be expected that the student meets all of the expectations for that ensemble, including demonstrating the necessary vocal range for the voice part for which they are auditioning as part of their audition. CCDA encourages its members to work with their school and county administration to ensure a positive and inclusive environment for transgender and gender-expansive students. This may include placing transgender and gender-expansive students in voice-specific ensembles (SSAA or TTBB) for which they identify, modifying vocal parts slightly, modifying uniform expectations for all students, and increased awareness of how hormone therapies may affect the singing voice. This is a living statement and CCDA will update as needed. For more information about trans and gender expansive terminology, please visit https://www.transstudent.org/definitions |
