<p>My D attended a high school with a voice prime and none of the kids who graduate from there do anything in all state. They focus completely on solo work. Kids from this school are routinely admitted to top music schools throughout the country and not being involved in all state has no impact. They were thankful for not having to spend so much time on choral work. The most important experience she received was the opportunity to perform solo. Performing in a group does not prepare your for solo performances. She has friends in her music program at college who came there without much solo experience and she felt there was a distinct advantage to having performed in many solo recitals.</p>
