auditioned for the Iowa All-State Chorus. The selection process is
very competitive, with approximately 17% of auditionees being
selected to participate in the All-State Music Festival in Ames,

Music Association.

undertake a rigorous process of quartet rehearsals, study with
private teachers, multiple mock auditions, and hours of individual
and quartet practice time. The following 23 Urbandale students
should be applauded for their dedication and exceptional
