​
If you are allowed to request a participation time, this will be clearly stated on our website on the event's information page.
A studiowide email will alert you when times for specific events are posted. This information will be posted as soon as I receive it.
Specific activity information is located on our studio website on the scroll down menu under the ACTIVITIES main heading.
If you need an adjudication sheet one will be given to you at the lesson preceding the event.  Otherwise, no sheet is required.  If the student is to take a judging sheet that information will be included in the activitie's page on the studio website.
Make certain that you check ONE MONTH before any activity to ensure you have original copies of music being performed
Without a Photocopy release form (available only for unpublished music) photocopies are never allowed at events, and results in disqualification.
Late arrival results in disqualification
Failure to perform the repertoire listed on the program/judging sheet/judging application results in disqualification.
Leaving before the assigned performance group results in disqualification
Arguing/complaining to the event chairman results in disqualification
Disputing results or interchanges with event judges results in disqualification
As representatives of our studio, please be so kind to read the Performance Guidelines found in the online handbook.
