Type of event
The Baroque Festival is an adjudicated event; all students will perform in a recital and receive comments from the adjudicators. Teachers may register students in either the competitive or non-competitive divisions. Honors Recital and Awards Adjudicators will select 25% of participants from each division to advance to the final event, the State Baroque "Honors Recital." Honorable mention awards will also be chosen.
