Directions

Parents are welcome to chaperone, ride the bus (or drive), attend, and cheer for us. Two parents are needed to ride the bus back to GP.

This is the most important adjudicated festival of the year. Students are expected to perform their absolute best. The performance will be recorded and judged for a rating. The ratings are:
 * Adjudication**

DIVISION I (SUPERIOR): A superior performance in all aspects with virtually no flaws in any area. Superior intonation, phrasing, balance and interpretation of difficult literature for the group’s grade level are required.

DIVISION II (EXCELLENT): An excellent performance in all aspects with only minor flaws. Not worthy of the highest rating due to minor defects in performance or ineffective interpretation.

DIVISION III (GOOD): An average performance with some minor and a few major problems or inaccuracies.

DIVISION IV (FAIR): A below average performance with serious major problems in many of the fundamental areas.

DIVISION V (POOR); A poor performance with such serious problems as to render the performance unsatisfactory in most aspects and leaving much room for improvement.

We are planning on having a bus. It leaves from Gavilan Peak school at 8:45am and will return to GP about 2:00-pm. Parents are welcome. Parents may drive their child. Students may leave after their performance.
