Registration & General Information

How to register​
This year we have updated the google form to help streamline submissions.  Unfortunately, you will still need to submit a form for each entry.  However, my hope is that the changes we made will make it faster and easier for everyone.  You should have access to edit any of your entries, and you should be able to review all of your entries when finished.  Please only edit your personal entries.

The form has information and directions to help guide you through the process of completing each entry.  YOU WILL NEED INFORMATION THAT IS ON THE WSMA EVENT LIST to complete every entry.

Below is a link to the form:

Music List info, event restrictions, & unique events
GOOD NEWS!  After reading all of the feedback, we have removed the music list this year!  Instead, I am sending the list as a point of reference for ensemble types and music.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHOOSE MUSIC FROM THIS LIST.  Use the list as a resource to see how your desired music compares/fits in to each class.

Unique Events You Should Register For:

For our festival we are allowing Jazz Ensembles of all sizes and types.  For example, we will be able to adjudicate Jazz Bands, Jazz Combos, Vocal Jazz, and Show Choirs.  I highly encourage you to look over the WSMA Event List for reference, and sign up for one of these ensembles.  All larger ensembles will be $35.00 per entry.  Please also note that you will have to perform 2 selections for certain ensembles (as stated in the WSMA Event List).  

Also, some students might want to participate in PIANO or GUITAR.


STUDENTS ARE LIMITED TO 1 SOLO PER INSTRUMENT
Pricing information
All invoices will be emailed to each director that that has students participating in this event.  Below is the pricing information per event.  Pricing is based on the cost of judges and medals.  Students will receive a medal if they score a 3 or higher.  It is up to each director to determine how they want to pay for registration.  PLEASE NOTE THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARTICIPATION FEE:

$10.00 All Solos (this has been changed from last year to reflect the updated costs of medals and judges)
$15.00 Ensemble
$35.00 Jazz Band, Vocal Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Combo, Show Choir

$30.00 - PARTICIPATION FEE:
Due to U-46 regulations, we are required to pay custodial fees on weekends. Because of this, we are asking all participating schools to contribute a minimal amount to cover a portion of the custodial fees.  This is the only way we can keep prices low for the students.
​
Deadlines and Penalties
All entry information is due at 11:59pm on Friday February 3, 2017.  A fee of $10.00 plus $1.00 per entry will be assessed for late registrations.  The late fee may be waived if extenuating circumstances exist.

Fees will be due Friday February 10, 2017.  All schools will receive an invoice containing a list of their registered events, and the final cost for the entire school (including band, chorus, and orchestra).  

Please make checks payable to:

Accompaniment information
If students are performing a class A solo, they are expected to be performing with an accompanist.  Students in class B and C are strongly encouraged to have a piano accompaniment, but may also perform with SmartMusic or an Prerecorded Accompaniment Track.  Please encourage all students to perform with an accompanist, however we understand that this might not always be financially feasible.  If you know your accompanist, please type their name in the "Other Category".  You can edit this information later.
