Participating teams will receive invaluable input and feedback from nationally­-recognized performing arts education professionals along with insightful commentary designed to help maximize performance strengths. SoundSport Virtual events help groups to refine their performances, creating a high­-achieving, highly-­entertaining experience for participants and fans alike! Performing groups will be adjudicated on Music Performance, Visual Performance and Overall Impression while participating in one of six competitive classes. Each ensemble will receive an official Gold, Silver or Bronze rating based on their video performance or they can participate in Festival Class to receive feedback while performing in exhibition.

Here’s how it works:

Participants will simply record a single-­camera video of their SoundSport performance, and will upload the performance based on instructions which will be sent to your ensemble’s official contact person.

The recording may be captured at a public performance or in the privacy of a closed rehearsal. Whatever works best for you!

You will be notified when the registration opens for these events and supplied with a link to submit your official SoundSport Virtual competition video.
