Proposals to the Executive Board:

Motion: Mike Farley/Wayne Miller - PASSED

Handbook reads: Pg 46 Section E:

"Measures must be numbered on the adjudicator’s copy. This copy must be an original."

Than Pg. 26 section D:

"Original solo parts for solos) and scores (for ensembles) with measures numbered consecutively must be furnished to the adjudicator before any solo or ensemble may perform for evaluation"

District 14 would like to modify this as followed:

"Original solo parts or original scores with solo parts included (for solos) and scores (for ensembles) with measures numbered consecutively must be furnished to the adjudicator before any solo or ensemble may perform for evaluation."

The confusion arises when student’s give an adjudicator an original score (with both accompaniment and solo part) verses just a copy of just the solo part.

Correspondence:

None
