Is this considered a "wow" factor?

I ask purely because I’m interested in how All State works in other parts of the country. No need to elaborate on personal details about your family/financial issues but can you clarify how your state would require a student to pay or otherwise put themselves in financial stress in order to audition for All State?

In Texas the All State process doesn’t cost the students a penny. If a student makes it all the way to the level of an All State musician, they attend the Texas Music Educators Association conference at no cost to them. Transportation, hotel, and food is covered and they are given a modest stipend for spending.

Good luck on your education adventure!
