Texas Choir Corner

Area & Region Explorer

Find your TMEA Region and Area by geography — then see exactly what the audition numbers mean for your student.

How Regions and Areas work

TMEA divides Texas into 33 Regions. Every school is assigned to one Region based on where it's located. When your student auditions, they start by competing at the Region level — against other students in their Region only.

Several Regions are then grouped together into an Area for the Pre-Area and Area auditions. At Area, your student competes against the top qualifiers from all the Regions in that group. Most parents hear their Region number long before they ever hear their Area letter.

The number of All-State choir seats available in each Area is set by TMEA based on how many students participate in that Area — so bigger Areas get more seats, but they also have more competition. The tool below lets you start with your part of Texas and work from there.

Data source: Seat allocations are drawn from the official TMEA 2024–2026 LSC Vocal Apportionment document, based on average participation across the 2022–23 and 2023–24 school years. The 2024–2026 alignment is valid through the 2025–2026 school year. New alignments take effect in 2026–2028 →
