GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS<br />
1. Each performing ensemble will be judged by a panel of three judges, one of which must provide taped<br />

judge into the performance videotape for each school. Two additional judges will be employed as clinicians<br />
and will rotate working with each Jazz Band.<br />

forms when returned to the festival site manager.<br />
3. Show Choirs and Jazz Bands shall use the P.A. equipment provided which will consist of fi ve microphones<br />
to be used at the discretion of the director. Jazz Choirs are permitted to bring their own sound<br />
equipment and technician (an eligible student).<br />

center.<br />
5. Participants must stop as soon as the offi cial timekeeper gives the signal indicating the end of the<br />
