NMACDA Elementary & Youth All-State Choirs
The NMACDA Elementary & Youth All-State Choirs are an opportunity for young singers to perform challenging music in a highly selective ensemble. All-State is an intensive educational weekend for choir students from across the state.
There are three Youth All-State Choirs:
​
The Elementary All-State Choir is made up of students, grades 4-6.
The Youth Treble All-State Choir is made up of treble voices, grades 7-9.
The Youth Mixed All-State Choir is made up of mixed voices, grades 7-9.
The All-State Choirs take place at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in late January.​ If selected, students will attend 2 full-day rehearsals (typically a Thursday and Friday) and perform on the 3rd day (typically a Saturday) on the main stage of the National Hispanic Cultural Center.
"Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in, they still know good music when they hear it."
