Adjudication Training Pilot Program
The COLORADO MUSIC ADJUDICATION ASSOCIATION is requesting your help for adjudication training. We are inviting all directors of choirs, orchestras and bands to send a video of your group or groups to CHSAA for training of potential adjudicators. The video you take can be a rehearsal, concert, or performance. These videos do not have to be a Superior setting, in fact we welcome your 1st or 2nd reading for training purposes. Consider sending a video around September to mid October.
** No names of school, director or group names will be advertised.
For further information of the entire process, please contact Rashaan Davis. Rdavis@CHSAA.org
