Audition: Students selected by nomination – no audition necessary.

Grades 6 through 9 are eligible for Junior Chorus.

Please be sensible in the number of students you nominate.  You should not expect your entire chorus to be selected.  The IMEA festival is an honor group, so only your best young singers should be nominated.  Since there is not an audition for this ensemble, some sort of screening by you in advance would be advisable.
