Hello Honor Choir Participants! Please use the links below to access the audition piece, as well as to pay your registration fee. Audition materials are due Friday, November 20, 2026, before midnight. Auditions may be submitted as part of the registration as a file attachment or as a link to YouTube.
We invite all high school students and directors to participate in this year's exciting High School Honor Choir Festival, held on the beautiful campus of Southern Utah University.
Students will be selected by audition to rehearse and perform outstanding choral literature under the direction of SUU's Dr. Andrew Briggs, Director of Choral Activities.
Students selected for the SUU High School Honor Choir participate in two days of rehearsals and activities culminating in a concert at the end of the second day in the Concert Hall of the new George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Music Center in Cedar City, Utah.
Audition materials include a complete score for use during a full choir rehearsal to facilitate a collective effort in your preparation. Separate parts are available for each voice.
Directors are encouraged to print the audition materials from our website. Submission options include sending a link to a private YouTube channel (preferred) or sending recorded performances to andrewbriggs2@suu.edu in MP3 format. You may also send a CD recording of auditions to: Department of Music, Southern Utah University, 351 West University Boulevard, Cedar City, Utah, 84720.
The registration fee is $30.00 per applicant upon acceptance.
Accommodations are not provided; however, there are many hotel options in close proximity to the rehearsal/performance hall. The final concert is scheduled for 3pm on January 9th, but the time is subject to change. (Concert dress is of your choosing - please wear whatever you traditionally perform in for similar performing experiences.)
Come be a part of a tradition of singing great music and having lots of fun at SUU! For further questions, contact Dr. Briggs at andrewbriggs2@suu.edu.
