Audition Eligibility Requirements

• Students must be in "good standing" in their school Band/Orchestra. Exceptions may be granted only if the school does not have provisions for a Band or Orchestra.
  
• Home schooled students will be eligible to participate in PMEA festivals if they are sponsored by their local school district and the appropriate member director.

A student must participate in the complete festival program commencing with registration and concluding with the final concert, except in the case of illness that must be verified in writing by a physician within 5 days of the festival. Students must rehearse and perform all musical compositions selected for the concert.
