Q.  When will the schedule for the state contest be posted on the WMEA website?
A.  During the first week of April.

Q.  Do participants have to perform the same music at state as was done in the regional contest?
A.  No–they can change music as long as it’s not something anyone involved has ever performed at state before.

Q.  If a student moves, can I replace him/her in an ensemble?
A.  No–large ensembles can still participate, though, if the category does not change.

Q.  It’s prom night–can I have an early performance to get back and have my hair done?
A.  No–the rules prohibit taking requests.

Q.  Can I use a different accompanist at state from the one I used in the regional?
A.  Yes–the accompanist can change, though we can’t change the schedule once done if a conflict is then created.

Q.  Is there a concert at the end of the day?
A.  No - each solo and ensemble is its own concert.  There is an awards ceremony at the end of the day.  There is no cost for the awards ceremony.

Q.  What time does the event begin?
A.  On Friday, the first ensembles will play at 8:00 am.  On Saturday, the first solos will play at 8:00 am.  Performances end by 5:00 pm each day.
