Additionally\, only the student will interact with the judge after his/her performance\, during the allotted time. This will allow the judge to focus on the performance in a clear\, unbiased manner. Failure to adhere to this policy may result in the\ndisqualification of the student.\n Once registered\, a vocal or instrumental soloist must remain in the category for which he/she is\nregistered. \n High school soloists and ensembles may not change classifications between State Competition and Comments Only after their registration has been submitted. Please carefully consider those registering as State competitors\, making sure that their performance is prepared enough for that level of scoring.\n Middle school students do not compete to qualify for the State competition\, but earn a festival rating andhavetheopportunitytoreceivecomments. Outstandingmiddleschoolperformerswillbeselected by judges to receive an award for their exceptional performances.\n Accompanists are asked to accompany no more than 14 soloists. Directors should make certain that the accompanists working with their students are aware of this policy. Please share the attached accompanist/private instructor letter with anyone working with your student(s) so that they have the information as well. \nAdditional Information about 2018 Solo & Ensemble Festival\n Results from this year’s festival will be posted near the registration table as each room closes and scores are tabulated.\n Student score sheets will not be available for pick up until the end of the festival day\, and will only be released to school directors of the corresponding schools (no parents or private teachers will be allowed to pick up score sheet packets).\n High school District winners may apply for a $50.00 scholarship to help defray costs of extra scores\, accompanist\, etc. for the State solo contest. Please contact Deborah Barber\, District 4 Chair for an application if so desired.\nQuestions\n Please contact Deborah Barber\, District 4 Chair\, with questions\, comments or concerns.\n Questions from parents should go through school directors.
