Sixth grade students are not eligible to compete
against students in grades 7-12 in any competition
for awards, ratings, recognitions, criticism or
qualifying for additional competition.
THEY MAY ENTER SOLO-ENSEMBLE EVENTS –

This in no way limits 6th graders from performing at
non-competitive school events, such as concerts,
school shows or halftime marching shows.
