For the first time in the more than 100 years, the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) all-region choir audition process took place virtually. Rather than gathering live in a single location, this year, nearly 600 students from the districts in TMEA Region 25 submitted their prepared selections and sight-reading via video through an on-line portal for judging.

Results were posted on October 18. A total of 135 Plano ISD students earned seats in the two ensembles. Plano students make up 51% of those selected, including four first chair placements in the eight voice parts.

The list below represents Plano ISD singers who have earned a seat in one of the virtual all-region ensembles. Students who placed in the mixed choir will continue on to the next round of auditions leading to the virtual all-state ensembles in January. Congratulations to these dedicated musicians.
