Adjudication
The MUSICAL SELECTIONS to be performed will
be determined by the organization's
director. There is NO
required music or sight reading.
Each school must supply their own SET-UP
CREW to rearrange choral risers, music
stands, or chairs prior to
their group's performance.
Each Organization will have twenty-five (25)
minutes to:
 Set-up
Perform an optional warm-up
selection (usually a concert march or
chorale)
Perform two (2) selections of
director's choice for adjudication
Clear the stage
At larger festivals, choral ensembles, with
the exception of High School Show Choirs, may be
allotted a 20-minute time slot.
Show/Swing/Jazz Choirs may perform any
number of selections within this 20-25-minute
time limit.
Directors entering two or more performing
ensembles in the same classification can
register the "advanced group"
in an applicable category and the "second
group" can be registered in a lower class
division.
An Organization's Stage Time begins when the
first member of the stage crew enters the
stage. Organizations that
exceed the twenty-five (25) minute time
allotment on stage will be declared
ineligible for rating or competition
and will receive comments only.
The Director must furnish two (2) sets of
scores with measures numbered for each of
the two adjudicated selections
for each of their performing groups. Each
Director must also furnish two (2) cassette
tapes with appropriate
labels and three (3) Music Performance
Selection Sheets. Tapes and scores will be
collected at the registration table.
Photocopied scores are not permitted unless
written permission from the publisher is
received and presented.
Music EQUIPMENT provided by Music SHOWCASE
Festivals in the performance area includes:
chairs, music
stands, choral risers, piano, podium, four
timpani and a concert bass drum. Please note
that we do not supply
platform risers or amplifiers for show
choirs and/or jazz ensembles. Additional
equipment may be available at
certain sites and will be listed in the
Director's Guide.
PARADE REVIEW - The Parade Review is staged
where bands can be adjudicated in a marching
area approximately 100
yards in length. It is impossible to offer a
parade in the park due to width of walkways
and lack of an adjudication area.
Fun Paks
A special souvenir FUN PAK is available for
purchase by festival participants. It
includes a specially designed
T-shirt, special gift, and souvenir sticker.
Order forms will be included in the
Director's Guide and must be ordered
in advance.
FUN PAKS cost $14.00 each.
