Those girls who have entered the competition will need their instruments and music in school on the appropriate days! 

Girls in Years 3&4 should go straight to their performance room and then have lunch afterwards.

Girls in Years 5&6 should go to Senior School lunch (joining the clubs’ line) and then straight to their performance room.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

We are looking at the overall performance of the piece on the day, including the use of dynamics, the correct notes, accurate intonation, the musicality of the performance and a positive playing action, plus any stylistic or individual touches that are given to the music.

POSITIONS:

We will award 1 1^st place for each Section (1 in each sub-section of Section A), generally a 2^nd place, a 3^rd place and possibly some Highly Commended. (Equal 2^nd or 3^rd etc could be given if thought appropriate)

HOUSE POINTS:

1 point for turning up (and actually playing!), 2 points for 3^rd place, 3 points for 2^nd place, 4 points for 1^st place.

Good luck, girls! Keep practising!
