Landri Dyer and Charles Jolivette, members of the Cuero High School Choir, will perform with the Texas All-State Choir in San Antonio, Saturday, February 15, at the Henry B. González Convention Center as part of the 2025 Texas Music Educators Association Clinic/ Convention.
Landri Dyer (Soprano) and Charles Jolivette (Bass) were chosen for this prestigious honor through a competitive process held this year across the state at District, Region, and Area levels. Both Landri and Charles sing at school in the choir under the direction of Tara Tower, who is a member of the Texas Music Educators Association, a 20,400+ member organization headquartered in Austin. This is Landri’s first time to perform as a member of a TMEA All-State organization. Landri is the child of Micah and Jamie Dyer, of Cuero. This is Charles' 3rd time to perform with the Texas All- State Choir organization. Charles is the child of Corine Jolivette of Cuero.
High school students selected to perform in All-State concerts have competed through auditions to qualify at the state level. All-State is the highest honor a Texas music student can achieve. Students are selected through a multi-level adjudication process that begins with about 70,000 students from around the state vying for this honor to perform in one of 18 ensembles.
Texas Music Educators Association sponsors the Texas All-State competition. This competitive process begins throughout the state in auditions hosted by 33 TMEA Regions. Individual musicians perform selected music for a panel of judges who rank each instrument or voice part. From this ranking, a select group of musicians advances from their Region to compete against musicians from other areas in eight TMEA Area competitions. The highest- ranking musicians judged at the TMEA Area competitions qualify to perform in a TMEA All-State music group. Only the top 2.6% of musicians who initially audition become All-State musicians. Directed by nationally recognized conductors, All-State students participate in four days of rehearsals during the TMEA Clinic/Convention. Their performances for thousands of attendees bring this extraordinary event to a close.
