Jul 19, 2026: SHSU All State Choir Camp at SHSU School of Music Building

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Join the Choral and Voice faculty of Sam Houston State University School of Music, along with master teachers from around the state, for a four-day camp of music making and fellowship! Get a leg up on the audition process, while having amazing experiences and making friends that will last a lifetime. SHSU's All-State Choir Camp is a great way to spend your summer!

Registration

Registration is now open and closes on July 6, 2026. Visit the School of Music summer camps webpage for details.

What to expect

Our camp experience is designed by our directors to be the most enjoyable and effective camp experience there is! Our camp faculty is comprised of some of the finest choral musicians in the Houston metro area. They will play an integral role in helping you develop as a musician and preparing you for the audition process. At SHSU you will learn all the LSC mixed and treble or tenor-bass music.

In addition, we will prepare you for what to expect during the audition process, including strategies for sight-reading and how to continue the learning process after camp. Of course, there will be an end of camp performance, but more importantly, we want you to leave campus with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully move through the audition process. Choir Camp would not be complete without a fun-loving, engaging camp staff and fun activities while you are on campus, so come prepared to have fun, learn, and make friendships and lasting memories!
