WVMEA’s Solo and Ensemble Festivals are generally held on a Saturday in January or February. Students and teachers must meet the requirements set forth in the Solo and Ensemble Rules and Regulations in order to be eligible to participate. All participating teachers must be current WVMEA members at the time of the festival. For further information contact your site chair, or the State Solo and Ensemble Chair, Will Cosby (email: cosbywl@gmail.com / phone: 304-203-7920).

All recordings for the State Honors Recitals will be submitted electronically. Submission information may be found on the WVMEA website. Recordings may be made before the festival, but the personnel on the recording must be the same that perform at the festival. Beginning this year, recordings may be submitted using audio OR video digital media. Due to size restrictions on the website, all recordings must use a weblink for submission. It is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED that students make their recordings ahead of time.

Payment: Directors are highly encouraged to pay by credit or debit card. Payment by check should only be used in cases of absolute necessity. If paying by check, all checks must be postmarked no later than the registration deadline for site festivals or received by Wednesday February 8th for the State Honors Recital adjudication. If a check is not received on time then submissions will not be adjudicated. See the “Fees” section of the rules and regulations for further information.

Rules and Regulations: Please read the rules and regulations thoroughly to be sure
you are up to date on all information. It is the responsibility of each director/teacher to know the rules and regulations for this school year.

Recording Submission Deadline: All state honors recital submissions must be electronically submitted no later than Tuesday, February 7th. Absolutely no late submissions will be accepted.
