The South Dakota All State Chorus may be the largest all- state event in the United States. With a average of over 1,000 choral students and 150 orchestra students attending each year, the experience is totally unique. The quality of the choral attendees is enhanced by the selection process. Participation is determined by local school competition, as established by the high-school choral director. Each school is allowed to send a certain number of SATB quartets, depending on the high school's enrollment. When all schools send all the quartets allowed, All-State Chorus numbers over eleven hundred singers. All-State Chorus & Orchestra is open to students in grades 9-12 who are enrolled at schools belonging to the SD High School Activities Association. The South Dakota All State Chorus (and Orchestra) is a co-sponsored event with the South Dakota High School Activities Association.
