Directors will need to activate the following tag in their Festival Scores account:
Audition Entries
All audition information will be in Festival Scores. Please update your student list in advance. You can enter students before you have the recordings completed. I recommend creating your entries a week or two in advance so we can see what audition numbers to expect. Then you can go back in and upload your recordings anytime prior to the deadline.

Judging Information
The deadline for entries to be uploaded and complete is 11:59 PM on Friday, November 4. On Saturday, November 5, judging will be open. If you are at the district event in Dodge City, you may bring your laptop/device to judge, and rooms will be available. If you are not attending the November event, you may judge remotely. We would like to have judging completed by 1:00 PM on that day so that folders can be distributed. All directors submitting auditions will be asked to judge.
