Competition Guidelines

Competition includes classification for Middle/Junior High Schools, and Senior High School groups. Middle and Junior High School groups will only compete against each other. Classifications have been determined to ensure fairness and optimum performance opportunity.

The judging panel will consist of three adjudicators for choral and instrumental (Jazz band will have two adjudicators). There will be no sight reading or required numbers. Groups may elect to participate for festival rating, or for awards in competition. Each school may enter up to five (5) choral groups.

Parade and Auxiliary Performances will be held on Saturday (some exceptions may apply).

PLEASE NOTE: All music performed will be adjudicated.
