All-State Choir

Cabot High School students auditioned for All-Region Choir back in October where they had to sing excerpts of pieces they've been working on. The top 15-16 in each section were eligible to audition for the All-State Choir in February.

Students had to learn all new music and sight read a small piece in their audition. The top 50 in each section were named to the Arkansas All-State Choir. This is a huge honor and we are extremely proud of our Cabot All-State Choir members!

Congratulations:
