Hill/Curd competition

HILL AUDITION CONTEST RULES: These guidelines are at the bottom of the Entry Form.

1) Each contestant will perform no more than six (6) minutes of music, which may be excerpts or complete movements.  
2) If two or more shorter works are performed, they should be of contrasting styles.  
3) Contestants should provide TWO copies of the music FOR THE JUDGES. (This means you need three copies if you are using a copy and four if your accompanist needs one. If this is not possible you need at the very least to provide the judges with one copy).  
4) Awards will be in the form of partial music lesson scholarships for the next year of study for current first, second, or third year students, or cash awards for current seniors.  
5) The Music Department reserves the right to grant fewer than the advertised Hill awards if, in the judges' opinions, there are insufficient qualified entries.  
6) Please report to the backstage 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time. Some songs are very short and move quicker than the schedule. (STOP BY TO SEE HOW THINGS ARE GOING). If someone drops out we may be able to speed up the schedule a bit. Check and see... you may be able to start a little earlier.
