Listed below are the Choral Adjudication Festival results. I encourage you to use this tool as a means to further evaluate your choir’s performance and how we all can improve. This Festival is not a competition, however, and for that I am glad. Our students get invaluable criticisms through this event; please do not use these scores to figure out where your ensembles “ranked.” In doing so, we diminish the integrity of not only the Festival but indeed our art.

To those of you to whom I owe trophies, let me again apologize. I used the same order which has worked beautifully over the last two years, but with the over-preparedness of the Middle School choirs we quickly ran out of Superior performance and sightreading trophies. What a great problem to have! Please pass along my apologies to your students and tell them that the trophies will come in the mail in the next few weeks.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at briantrussell@msn.com.
