Please have students complete the registration process and assist as necessary. If a student does not

have access to the necessary technology to complete the registration process, registration information may be

submitted on the “old” form. The deadline date will be strictly adhered to according to MCEA rules.

Rules for Participation: Please refer to the 2012 Revision of the Southern Maryland Music

Conference Handbook, pages 80-83 for complete regulations and guidelines.

1. A solo and ensemble applicant must be a full-time registered student in the performing choral

group/class and receive a passing grade.

2. Participants will perform a selection for adjudication that is chosen from the MCEA approved list.

The music will determine the grade level entered. The selection must be under six minutes.

3. A student may enter a maximum of three events (any combination of solo and/or ensemble

selection). Students in grades 9-12 who earn a Superior (I) rating in grades II-VI music at the

district assessment will be eligible to be adjudicated at the state festival. State festival forms

will be completed on site at the District IV Assessment.

4. Students must provide their own accompanists for selections that are not a cappella. Failure

to provide an accompanist will result in the lowering of the final rating by one grade. All

accompaniments must be live. Recorded music of any kind will not be allowed unless it is part

of the score.

5. An original score with the measures numbered shall be provided to the adjudicator. Failure to

provide the original score for the adjudicator will result in the lowering of the final rating by one

grade. This also includes music purchased online.
