There are no required selections. Each group performs music appropriate to their level of development. Adjudicators will consider the quality of the
performance, not the level of difficulty.
Performances take place in local schools, churches, colleges or other performance venues located near the amusement park. At each location your Site
Director and their staff will greet you upon your arrival and provide assistance and further instruction for a smooth Trills & Thrills festival.
A twenty minute warm-up will be provided, followed by twenty minutes of on-stage performance time. Music selections should total less than twenty minutes
to provide time for set-up and dismantle.
Your local Site Director will advise you as to what is available at your performance site. It may be necessary to bring some additional percussion and
electronic equipment from your school.
Uniforms are not required at Trills & Thrills festivals. The attire of the group is left up to the discretion of each Director and will not be factored
into the Adjudicator's ratings. Please be advised, however, that changing facilities are not available at any of our performance sites.
Two original conductor's scores for each selection are required for the adjudicators. Copied scores are not permitted without the written permission of the
publisher. Also, two cassette tapes are required for each performing group from your school and should be labeled with the school name, director's name and
group.
Since you and your students look forward to spending the afternoon in the park, it is important that we remain on schedule during the morning performances.
Please give careful attention to arriving on time, setting-up without delay, and performing within the twenty minute limit. If we all strive to stay on
schedule, the day will be pleasant and rewarding for everyone.
