SOLO/SMALL ENSEMBLE FESTIVAL RATING SYSTEMAdjudicator GuidelinesDIVISION I: (25%-40%) A superior performance. Outstanding in nearly every detail. Nearlyevery detail – they are not perfect, but they should be as good as students for this particularevent can perform.DIVISION II:(40%-55%) An excellent performance. An unusual performance in manyrespects but not worthy of the highest rating because of minor defects in performanceand/or ineffective interpretation. Ineffective interpretation might be - dynamics arehappening, they are just not musical.DIVISION III:(10%-25%) A good performance. Shows accomplishment and promise butlacking in finesse, interpretation and the essential qualities necessary for a higher rating.Dynamics are no longer happening. The lack of finesse is obvious and many essentialqualities simply are not present.DIVISION IV:(2%-10%) A fair performance. Not worthy of a higher rating because of basicweaknesses in many of the fundamental factors of a good musical performance.You are getting a legitimate effort; there simply is very little musical that is happening.Coordination is obviously lacking and, at times, you may wonder if they will finish together.DIVISION V:(0%-3%) A poor performance. Obviously lacking preparation, practice andobservation of the necessities of a good festival performance. You are not getting alegitimate effort.Judges are to award NO plusses or minuses!!2005 BEDS Enrollment InformationTotal Public School Enrollment in Grades 9-12 =157,322Course Enrollment %Band 25,473 16.19%Orchestra 2,095 1.33%Chorus 25,598 16.27%Contempory Band 739 0.47%Instr Ensembles 545 0.35%Piano 6 0.00%Guitar 28 0.02%Ind TecInst Mus 125 0.08%Vocal Ensembles 3,319 2.11%Ind TecVoc Mus 156 0.10%Music Theory 758 0.48%Ap Music Theory 63 0.04%Music Hist\Appr 494 0.31%MusicInd Study 82 0.05%MusicOther 552 0.35%Total Music 60,033 38.16%28
