Please plan to arrive no later than thirty minutes prior to
your scheduled
warm-up. All times and locations are based on the festival schedule
which will
be mailed approximately one month prior to your performance day.
A representative will lead your students into the warm-up
area. If you have
arrived early, you are welcome to enter the performance area and listen
to
other ensembles..
Stage Set-Up
As soon as the previous performance is completed, your
representatives (with
an accurate seating chart) must be ready to direct the stage crew. The
stage
must be set quickly and accurately.
Each organization will have Fifty
(50) minutes to:
Set-Up
Perform
three contrasting selections for adjudication*
Clinic
Clear
the Stage
*Show Choirs, Madrigal Choirs and Barbershop Quartets may
perform any number
of selections within their time limit, taking into consideration
set-up,
performance, clinic and exit.
An organization’s stage time begins upon set-up.
Common courtesy dictates
that organizations do not exceed the time allotment on stage and each
group
adheres strictly to the schedule in order that all participants can be
properly
accommodated.
There
will be a 25 minute warm-up
prior to each performance (in a separate
room).
** In some
instances there may be few
or no music stands in the Instrumental warm-up room, as it is intended
for
warm-up and tuning, not as rehearsal time.
***Clinics
for marching ensembles will be based on location and access to space.
