This is open to brass trios, quartets, trumpet choir, horn choir, trombone choir, tuba choir and mixed brass ensembles no larger than 12 members. Mixed ensembles may have instruments other than brass but should be primarily brass groups.
Rules: Each group should arrive at the festival with a 50 minute program prepared that is primarily drawn from original repertoire for the ensemble (transcriptions and arrangements should not be the major part of the program). Round One: The judges will select a 15 minute program to be heard from your prepared music. Final Round: The judges will select a 30 minute program from your prepared music. Ensembles performing from photocopies will be disqualified.
Awards: First place awards will be given in the 3 brass quintet divisions. Up to three awards will be given in the brass ensemble divisions. Minimum award amounts will be announced by May 15, 2009.
