How It Works
District Eligibility: Student must attend a WSMA member school
State Eligibility: Solo must have received a *1 rating at District Festival
- Parents (or students age 18+) register a student for district or state festival using CS Music’s Online Audition Tool.
- Students perform their solo for a video recording device, upload the video to YouTube, and then add the YouTube link to their CS Music application found at www.csmusic.net/applications. For complete instructions, view our Preparation Procedures and Registration Procedures.
- Students will be notified via email when their performance has been reviewed by judges. They will receive written feedback and a rating from the adjudicator within one week of video submission.
- If students qualify for state festival through a virtual district-level performance, steps one through three repeat for a second state-level performance.
- Schools, booster groups or parents may choose to purchase official WSMA awards to recognize eligible students (available only at WSMA Award Store).
