All-District Choir
Members of the District XII Honors Chorus represent the best middle school and high school chorus musicians in our district (part of Fairfax County and all of Arlington County). Students are required to sing a prepared solo song and to sight-read a segment of music for the audition. A guest conductor rehearses and conducts the chorus at the actual event. This year, District Honors Chorus members will virtually participate in group rehearsals Feb. 5 and 6 to learn the music and work on a collaborative final performance.
