UTSA All-State Choir CampThe UTSA All-State Choir Camp continues to be a leader in the Texas All-State Choir preparatory process (Large School only). Outstanding clinicians from prominent Texas high school music programs along with UTSA’s own superb conductors and faculty provide an intensive study of the All-State audition music to high school campers from across the state of Texas. All students who will be in grades 9-12 in the 2026–2027 academic school year and are planning to participate in the All-State process are welcome to register to get a head start on learning their music. Choristers who are not planning to participate in the All-State process are also welcome to join for a fun few days of singing and making friends. Campers will also have the opportunity to get to know the beautiful UTSA campus, learn about life as a UTSA student, and enjoy games, a talent show and more! Link: https://www.utsamusiccamps.com/
