► Fee: $10 per event

► Events MUST be paid for when registering (AT THE DEADLINE)

► NO SUBSTITUTIONS if a student(s) cannot make it, students can only attend at ONE site

 


All recordings for the State Honors Recitals will be submitted electronically. Recordings may be made before the festival, but the personnel on the recording must be the same that perform at the festival. Recordings may be submitted using audio OR video digital media. Due to size restrictions on the website, all recordings must use a weblink for submission. It is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED that students make their recordings ahead of time.

Payment: Submissions for the WVMEA State Honors Recital is $15.  Directors are highly encouraged to pay by credit or debit card. Payment by check should only be used in cases of absolute necessity. If paying by check, all checks must be postmarked no later than the registration deadline for site festivals or received by the State Honors Recital adjudication. If a check is not received on time then submissions will not be adjudicated. See the “Fees” section of the rules and regulations for further information.

Rules and Regulations: Please read the rules and regulations thoroughly to be sure
you are up to date on all information. It is the responsibility of each director/teacher to know the rules and regulations for this school year.

► ALL those submitting a state recital submission must have a teacher/sponsor that is a member in good standing of NAfME/WVMEA.
