The annual All-State Music Festival is one of the most prestigious music events in the state, featuring the top high school musicians and vocalists from around Iowa. Students must audition to be selected to perform in the 278-piece All-State Band, 214-piece All-State Orchestra, and 602-member All-State Chorus. The selection process is very competitive, with only about 17% of auditionees being selected to perform, making it one of the highest individual honors an Iowa high school performer can receive.

Congratulations to the following CRCSD students who have been selected for either the Iowa All-State Band, Orchestra, or Choir, along with 2 alternates. Three students, Owen Kilgore, Emma Bennet, and Grace Wolle, also receive special recognition for being selected for all 4 years of high school. This year’s All-State Festival Concert will take place on November 18th at Hilton Coliseum on the Iowa State University Campus. The performance will also be broadcast on Iowa PBS on November 23rd and 26th.
