MCC offering choral clinic to prepare for all-state auditions
Thursday, April 28, 2022

High school vocal students entering grades 9-12 in the fall of 2022 are invited to enroll in a choral clinic at McCook Community College to begin the learning process of the all-state choral repertoire. This is for students who want to audition for the 2022 All-State Chorus.

The dates for this 2022 clinic are May 23-25 and will be held in Tipton Hall, room 104 on the MCC campus.

“In addition to the strategies, we will share how to make a successful audition,” said MCC Music Instructor Dr. Mirna Cabrera.

The goal of this three-day workshop is to do a sight-reading of the music with a possible final performance.

Students are encouraged (but not required) to begin learning the music before coming to this clinic. This day camp is intended to offer area students an affordable opportunity to learn their music in a location near their home. The general format of the clinic will include group lessons and full rehearsals.

Cost of this workshop is $85. Students will need to bring their own lunch and snacks as well as copies of their music.

Registration for the clinic can be done All-State Choral Clinic (Grades 9-12) - 224CFEI2423, or by calling 308-345-8122.

For more information and questions concerning the clinic, please contact Dr. Mirna Y. Cabrera, 308-345-8187, cabreram@mpcc.edu.
