Solo and ensemble festival provides students with an opportunity to
perform either in smaller groups or as individuals with piano
accompaniment. Playing as a soloist or as part of a smaller group is a
different kind of playing than performing with a full band. It is
important for a well-rounded education in music for students to have
experiences in all different kinds of playing.
Students who participate in Solo/Ensemble have an opportunity to grow
musically and have the fun of performing solo music. The Florida
Bandmasters Association sponsors this festival and students must abide
by specific guidelines. Failure to abide by these rules may result in
student disqualification.
At the festival, all solos and ensembles will perform for a judge. You
are not in completion with anyone but will receive specific comments and
rating based on your performance. The judge will fill out a comment
sheet and submit a rating of your performance to the festival office.
All ratings will be posted in a central location at the festival site.
You will receive one of the following ratings:
ENSEMBLES
You must practice your individual parts before trying to rehearse
together.
All members of the ensemble should be present for scheduled help
sessions with the band director. You will need several coaching sessions
before checking off for final performance
DRESS
You will be expected to "dress up" for this performance. This is a live
performance - be professional in your attire and presentation.
I strongly encourage you to perform in this festival. This is one of the
most educational experiences provided by the Florida Bandmasters
Association and offers you a chance to grow as a solo musician. Work
diligently to assure your success in February.
