The goals of Circle the State with Song are to provide an opportunity for:
1. exceptional music students to work with guest choral clinicians on challenging music for an exciting choral experience with other students;
2. music teachers to observe and learn as the clinician works with the students and to share vocal pedagogy ideas with other teachers;
3. students to perform children's choral repertoire of excellent quality;
4. both students and teachers to participate in the 2010 All-OMEA Children's Chorus.
Repertoire for the 2010 All-OMEA Circle the State with Song Festivals is available below in PDF format
