**The purpose of Music Performance Adjudications is to provide each performing group with an opportunity to improve and to evaluate its performance by comparison with a set standard of excellence, and by comparison with the performance of other groups.
March 12th is our performance date: Performance Times: Beginning choir will perform at 8:45 Concert choir will perform at 9:45 Colla Voce will perform at 10:30
The performance is open to the public. Parents, teachers and students are invited to watch the performance adjudication in Jones Auditorium at Meredith College; however, the sight-reading adjudication is a closed setting. Parents, if planning to attend the performance, please arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled performance to ensure you will get to hear your child sing.
