Junior State Competition is May 19, 2018 at 1:30p at Country Club United Methodist Church in Kansas City, MO
State Competition Rules:
- Each festival may send 1 pianist, 1 vocalist & 1 instrumentalist. (Districts 1 & 4B will send 2- due to high enrollment of pianists)
- All students must be in 10th grade or above.
- Pianist must be chosen from the piano solo event, and their Jr. Festival performance level must be D1 or above.
- Vocalist may be chosen from Art Song or Musical Theater.
- Instrumental winners must be at Solo level D1 or above or Concerto level Junior III or above.
- Each student will perform 1 selection at the competition. This must be a selection that they performed at this year’s Junior Festival.
- No student may come to represent their district 2 years in a row. If they come to State competition during one year, they must wait out a year before coming again. This is a way to give a wider number of students the opportunity to experience the State Competition.
