It is time for NYSSMA sign-up! Some information to keep in mind:
Seniors do not take NYSSMA.
Students who take lessons at Chaminade should have already consulted their lesson teachers.
Make sure your piece is listed in the current NYSMMA manual, #30.
You need ORIGINAL music for your solo. Most pieces come with a piano part you can give to the judge. Get the music NOW, if you have not done so already.
Students with questions should talk with their lesson teachers or moderators.
Students playing more than one solo should fill out a separate form for each solo. One check is fine.
Regarding All-State solos:
Only sophomore and juniors may take an All-State solo.
Most solos require a piano accompaniment. Find someone NOW.
Only students who have performed superbly on a level 6 solo should consider this.
Print out the form, bring it to school, along with a check and hand it in to the moderator of your group.
MAKE YOUR CHECK OUT TO Chaminade High School
If you are not in a performing group at Chaminade (typically piano players) and would like to participate, bring the form to Bro. Karl Hornberger in the band room, after school.
Click on the NYSSMA page above to access the form.
