B. All auditioning students must be accompanied by an adult chaperone. Only an adult chaperone
may register students to audition. Unchaperoned students shall not be allowed to audition.

to audition in a single room, and some instruments may be auditioned at fewer sites, days, or
times at the discretion of the Auditions Committee.
D. Whenever possible, in each audition room there shall be two adjudicators who have an exper-
tise in at least one of the assigned instruments. Whenever possible, there shall be one male and
one female adjudicator. (rev. 05/22/05)
E. Procedures for all students
1. Students shall perform the required segments of a prepared solo as published annually in the

unaccompanied. The vocal solo shall be accompanied by the official recording. (rev. 05/24/04)
2. Each student shall sight-read materials selected by the adjudicators. The sight-reading shall be
easier than the solo and be a test of musicality as well as technique.
3. The length of time that each student is in the audition room may vary according to the com-
plexity of that room's requirements and factors outside the control of the adjudicators.
F. Procedures Specific to Winds
