Girls in grades 6, 7, and 8 are eligible to attend this festival. Since most of the music will be SSA each school is requested to bring 2 sopranos, 2 second sopranos and 2 altos.
Schools usually are given 6 places in this festival. Should there be additional room, they will be invited to bring up to 9 students.
It is recommended that teachers select their own alternates for this festival. Alternates would be expected to practice the music and would then be ready for one of the school's places should one of the participants be unable to participate.
Teachers are requested to audition their own students for the AMIS Middle School Choir Festivals. This should be a formal audition procedure designed to show that the singer can hold his own part and can learn fairly quickly. You will find attached the vocalises AMIS suggests you use for your auditions.
It is recommended that teachers select their own alternates for this festival. Alternates would be expected to practice the music and would then be ready for one of the school's places should one of the participants be unable to participate.

Students are responsible for the complete learning of all repertoire and should not be recommended unless they are able to meet the demands of performing challenging literature with other outstanding students. They must be capable of concentrating during long rehearsals each day. Students must be well prepared so as to insure a positive experience. It is the responsibility of each teacher to be sure the students are prepared.
It is important that you are at the school by the end of school on Wednesday. It will be difficult for many families to meet guests other than at this time. Please keep this in mind when making your reservations. If you arrive before Wednesday you will need to organize hotel accommodation for yourself and your students until Wednesday. The housing with families will be Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Please avoid really late arrivals and early departures on Sunday. If you have no other choice, you will probably need to keep your students in a hotel on Saturday night, since we cannot ask host families to be up very early on Sunday morning.
