Guidelines:

1.     Students who will be in grades 9-12 for the 2022-23 academic year residing in Indiana or neighboring states are eligible to apply.

2.     Submit recordings that showcase your strengths in the given category.

3.     Use excerpts of pieces on the ISSMA Group I Solo list (or similar works) if possible.

4.     Individual selections should not be edited or spliced, but rather performed continuously. Adjudicators are more interested in hearing an honest performance than a flawless one.

5.     Attention should be given to the quality of the recording. Soloists should be more prominent than the accompaniment (if used), and the site of the recording should be as soundproof as possible.

6.     Applicants are encouraged to have their instructors and/or directors review their recordings before submission.

 

Additional information:

1.      Once your application has been submitted, you will receive a confirmation email.

2.      Evaluation proceedings are confidential and final.

3.      Alternates will be selected and used to fill positions as needed.
