District 2 All-State choral auditions will be held at Apollo on September 27 th, which is earlier this year due to the onset of Fall breaks and we hope all schools can participate in them... If a school has a new choral person please e-mail Selliott@dcps.org so that I may get you in the address book and on a mailing list. The Song for audition this year is "My Heart is Offered Still to you " Lassus... We should have this somewhere tucked away in our files as it has been used before.... thanks Sarah Elliott, Apollo High School.
