MSVMA Honor Choir Program Students wishing to pursue the MSVMA Honor Choir program will audition this fall. By MSVMA rules I may select up to 32 students to audition for the Regional Honor Choir. Students must carefully and extensively prepare a designated piece of music. Students committing to the process MUST know in advance that they are available for the specific rehearsal and concert dates set by MSVMA. Failure to attend rehearsals will result in sanctions against the entire school vocal program in subsequent years.
