Again this year, each ensemble will receive the benefit of a 30- minute session with a nationally recognized conductor/clinician at the conclusion of its performance. This enrichment opportunity will be in addition to the standard adjudication format. The traditional routine of the contest will occur as it has in the past. Each group will have a scheduled warm-up followed by its 30-minute performance time on the stage of Bates Recital Hall. For the •purpose of the competition, the three- member judging panel will adjudicate the performance, determine a rating, provide written and taped comments, and ultimately select the outstanding organization in the various conferences. There will be no changes in this procedure. However, during each performance a fourth adjudicator will also be listening and making taped comments. At the conclusion of the concert, this conductor/clinician will move with the ensemble to a designated rehearsal area for a 30-minute clinic and discussion session. The focus of this enrichment period is not intended to dwell on technical execution or rehearsal techniques, but rather to discuss style, interpretation and other musical considerations.
