Each year, high school students throughout
the state of Kansas have the opportunity to audition
to perform at District Festivals and at the KMEA In-Service
Workshop. The audition process begins at their own school,
progresses through their KMEA District Organization
and culminates with selection to the State Festival
Groups. Selected musicians and vocalists have the opportunity
to audition to perform in choirs, concert bands, jazz
bands and orchestras at both the district and state
levels. For more information about the student audition
process within your district, please contact your District
President.
