For the first time in Henning history, two Henning students were selected. Steven Mills and Cade Strege were selected to be part of the tenor-bass all-state choir. As part of the program, the two Henning students will attend a camp the first week of August at Concordia College in Moorhead. They will also gather next February to perform at Orchestra Hall as part of the Minnesota Music Educators Association Midwinter Clinic. As part of the August camp, students will meet their guest conductor and attend long hours of rehearsals and sectionals.

In order to be selected for the all-state choir, students in high school bands, choir and orchestras audition through their sponsoring school for an All-State spot in March. Judges listen to the recorded auditions, evaluating them on their overall musicianship and technique.
