They will be split into two choirs of about 250 students each and perform five selections. The students had to audition for the three spots given to each school in the state. The requirements were for them to sing individually a major scale by numbers and solfege, a chromatic scale by numbers and solfege, to sing a prepared solo and to perform a sight-singing selection.
