<p>Squiggles…LOTS of very good singers are turned down by ASU.(and just as many are surprised by the competition at the auditions) They attract the top western vocalists, since they have been producing some strong successful singers lately and they are reasonably priced.
As far as All State goes, we had never even heard of it until we were out on the “audition trail”. It is not quite as popular here (Los Angeles area) since there are so many other opportunities to perform and there are plenty of soloist competitions in the region.</p>
