The Oklahoma Baptist University All-State Choir Camp is open to all High School Students eligible for the Oklahoma HS All-State audition (rising 10th, 11th, and 12th grade singers). The primary focus of the camp is preparation for upcoming Oklahoma HS All-State Choir auditions. Students will receive expert instruction from Dr. Joshua Chism (OBU Director of Choral Activities), Dr. Steve Sims (Professor of Voice), and area high school choir teachers with years of experience. The camp culminates with a student concert that celebrates the day’s learning. Students of all ability levels will find appropriate challenges within a positive and nurturing environment.
The 4 audition selections (Nisi Dominus by Galuppi, Crucifixus by Lotti, Cum Sancto Spiritu by Woo, and Hold On by Boyd) are included for the first 75 camp registrants.
