We had a fantastic time at this year’s NMSU All-State Choir Prep Day! 🎶

Thank you to the incredible high school singers who joined us, their dedicated teachers, and our NMSU choir students and faculty for making this day possible.

We hope everyone left feeling more prepared and confident for All-State auditions this fall. And yes… we had to practice our sight reading by learning and performing the NMSU Alma Mater on custom NMSU Choirs kazoos. 😂🎵

Best of luck to everyone at auditions—we’re cheering you on!
