• Page 2/NEWS: September, 1991 Rather than dwelling on changes, Refresher course: review the entire contest music plan

With the exception of the revisions in the State Marching Band Contest format, 1990 was a year of only minor changes in the UIL Music Richard Contest plan. Regardless of the magnitude, all Floyd revisions whether large or small were adopted only after careful study and extensive input by the TMEA/UIL Music Advisory Committee, the Technical Advisory Committee and the State Director of Music. All proposals were ultimately reviewed and approved by the State Music matters Board of Education. These revisions should be properly noted; revised to allow the region executive commit­ however, before the rule changes for the new tee to consider a wide range of penalties as school year are discussed it would be wise to outlined inSubchaptcr R of the Constitution and review two areas of general eligibility that are Contest Rules. These penalties can range from often misunderstood or misapplied. the minimum of a private reprimand, all the way GENERAL STUDENT ELIGIBILITY up to a three year suspension. Remember, this Section 480: There arc no changes here; restriction applies only to otganization events. however, changes in the awards rule as it applies Therefore it, in no way, conflicts with the Awatds to UIL academic and fine arts programs made Rule for ind ividual competitionsd iscusscd earlier one year ago are still not totally understood by in this article. all directors and sponsors.
