*PIECES - This number of pieces is intended to indicate the minimum number of pieces a student is
required to perform. The student may perform more pieces at the discretion of the teacher as long as the
duration for that student's program does not exceed the maximum time allowed. (All pieces must be
memorized.)
**CONTRASTING STYLES - Teachers should give particular attention to the criteria given that each
of the pieces performed by any given student must be from contrasting historical periods and contrasting in style. If you are unsure of the style periods of your student's repertoire, discuss this with the chairman before the deadline. Please list repertoire in the order it will be performed. Literature should not be repeated from a previous Mid-State competition. Parents’ questions should be directed to the teacher, teachers can then confer with the chairman of the event.
