Music
Requirements
For adjudication in the Choral
and Instrumental Divisions, there is not a required music
list. However, school groups should choose literature appropriate
for an educational festival. Please select two or three pieces
and limit your performance time to fifteen minutes. Contact
us with questions.
On-Stage
Clinic
If you choose,
an on-stage clinic can be given by one of the judges immediately
following your group's performance. The session (not to exceed
ten minutes) will provide a more personal touch to the Festival.
Contact us for more information.
