How Does it Work?

This non-competitive festival contains two stages. The “Feature Stage” is located in the Mason High School Auditorium. This stage is intended for ensembles of advanced skills. Performers on this stage will receive a 25-minute performance slot followed by a 30-minute clinic in a separate location. In addition, feature stage performances will be provided with Competition Suite Commentary from the clinicians, as well as a raw recording without commentary for submission or audition purposes. Bands wanting to perform on the auditorium stage as a Featured Ensemble are encouraged to include a link to an audio recording of their ensemble from sometime in the last three school years. 

The Invited stage will be held in our Mason High School Small Commons. This stage is intended for younger, or developing ensembles. Performers on this stage will have a 50-minute time slot that includes the performance, and the clinic on stage with our guest clinicians. Directors may choose the amount of performance time that best fits the ensemble, and the clinic will fill the duration of their time. 

To ensure that each ensemble has a great audience, all attending ensembles are required to view two other high school/middle school ensembles.
