Student Auditions
In 1952, the Southwest District Convention featured a student competition, the first of what would later be known as NATS Student Auditions. As NATS grew, so did student auditions, and now thousands of students participate in chapter, district, and region auditions each year, providing students with constructive written feedback on their progress. NATS members consider these auditions as one of the most important activities NATS organizes. At these events, singers meet and hear other singers, NATS teachers get to know their colleagues better and everyone has the chance to hear a variety of music.
