In the Evaluation Event, students perform one solo of their choice for a judge. Students may use their music if needed. Memorization is not required. Family members are allowed to sit in the room to hear the verbal evaluation. Students will receive a written report card and rating. 100-99-98 ratings receive a 1st place trophy, 97-96-95 ratings receive a 2nd place trophy, 94-93-92 ratings receive a 3rdplace trophy and 91 and below receives an engraved medal.

We will continue the Ensembles Event where students can perform a duet, duo, concerto, trio or quartet. Duet/Duo/Concerto partners may be another student or the teacher. Please indicate which one. Teachers may also be one of the three or four in the trio or quartet. Each performer must include $30 to participate. Teachers can play for FREE, so no fee for teachers. All Ensembles will take place on Friday Evening. Top three teams receive trophies, and the rest receive medals. We will offer a cash prize to the Concerto Winners depending on the number of students who enter.
We also have American and National League Division Events where students choose one solo from the required list and division. Please find attached the required division lists. They must move up each year. They can skip a level, but can never repeat or go back in levels.

We will continue the World Series Champion Award for the students with the most overall wins (total points) in all events over the weekend. This student will be rewarded with a big trophy, scholarship, and as much publicity as I can get themJ
