Adjudication Numbers

For each art discipline, you will find listed the following: 1) the number of students scheduled to adjudicate, 2) the number that were adjudicated, i.e. scored, 3) the number who completed the program that summer, and 4) the target invitation rates. The last three years are further broken down by instrument and voice part at the bottom of this page. Note that the number scored does not equal the number of applicants eventually nominated by the school systems and whose applications were reviewed by the state.

Though the numbers in each instrument and voice part for 2006 - 2008 are given below, one should not directly assume that those same numbers will be admitted in 2009, nor that those numbers represent an ideal.

In regards to music, although generally speaking students are "competing" against other students of like kind (i.e. strings against strings and more specifically violins against violins, etc.), that is not to rule out the possibility that a certain minimum score would be required regardless of the scores of ones peers. That is to say, that even though we may want a certain number of a particular instrument or voice part, the scores may indicate we take fewer. The opposite is also true so that we may take more of a particular instrument or voice part than anticipated.
