Otherwise, teachers are responsible for mailing the state entry cards to the State Achievement Audition Chair. ONLY ENTRIES ON THE CORRECT ENTRY CARD WILL BE ACCEPTED. Sort entry cards by grade of entrant (K-12).

Each entrant must perform the same memorized composition at the state level audition that was performed at the district level audition. Failure to meet this requirement will result in disqualification of the entrant.
SPECIAL AWARDS
