Honor Choir is a venue at the AMEA Conference during even-numbered years (i.e., January 2008, 2010, etc.). Choral directors choose one or two quartets (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) from their best students in grades 10-12. Students in the quartet(s) are screened (group audition) on the Honor Choir music and, if selected for Honor Choir, rehearse and perform during the AMEA Conference
