Music Manual Clarification - (Percussion Ensemble Entries)

Percussion groups comprised primarily of novelty instruments are not to participate at regional and state festivals.  (Schools bringing such groups to festival will receive comments only.)

Large Group Rubric Adjudicator Ballots

In spring 2007 we began using outcomes based adjudicator ballots for state Large Group Music Contests.  These ballots were designed by KMEA and adopted by the Executive board in June 2006.  They are available for purchase (see page 22 of music manual for order form) or you may download them by selecting the “Music Adjudicators” button on our music web page.  Directors are strongly encouraged to use these forms with their students throughout the year, as part of their classroom instruction.

 

   

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

 

KMEA has requested the following statement be adhered to by adjudicators in evaluating regional and state music festival performances:

 

  1. Rate the performance on its merits, not on potential.

 

  1. In Kansas ’ evaluation system, a III rating is considered an average performance showing accomplishment and marked promise. This rating could be used as a starting point in your evaluation.

 

  1. Justify your ratings with comments regardless of the rating assigned.

 

  1. Take time to review the justification paragraph and the ratings sheet. Please refer to the information sent to you by the Kansas State High School Activities Association.
