In order to participate in the regional audition, you must complete the All-State Participation form and return the bottom portion with parent signature and check for $20 payable to Walton High School Chorus by 3 pm, Friday, September 16, 2016. If you pass the regional audition, our Walton Choral Boosters support and applaud your efforts by paying the fees and music for the final audition.
