Guidelines, Policies and Procedures for Performing Ensembles

Performers and Ensembles:  Individuals or ensembles should be performing percussion focused material. There is no age group or expertise level requirement and everyone from grade school to college is invited to attend.  Ensembles should prepare from 1 to 3 pieces. For larger ensembles we recommend 1 to 3 pieces or 10 to 15 minutes of prepared music. The maximum time on stage for any ensemble is 25 minutes including set up.

Registration Fee:  All ensembles will be asked to pay a registration fee to help cover the costs of the event. Visit Rates/Fees Page for details.

Deadline:  There is a maximum amount of performing groups that we can register and there is a registration deadline of November, 15 2023. If the maximum amount of performers is reached before the deadline it will be announced here and on the home page of this website.

Name Badges: Each performing group will receive badges that will allow entry into any of the events. Badges will be provided to performing participants, staff and chaperones.  Name badge information will be requested two weeks prior to the event. Please request name badges for your playing members only. If you have students that help move instruments or operate sound equipment they should be included with your list and will receive a badge for the event. Bus drivers will be provided with a event badge. A hospitality room will be provided for directors. Because of limited space in hospitality, bus drivers are invited to eat in the concession area free of charge.

Non Performing Attendees: If you are bringing additional students such as another class or age group, friends or family, we request that they purchase an arm band at the ticket desk or purchase as a group. Group rates are available. Visit Rates/Fees Page for details. Please consider the expense of quality clinicians, including their transportation, meals and lodging.
