Maricopa Community Colleges Music Vocal Competitions 2014

The Maricopa Community Colleges sponsors a district-wide music vocal competition to encourage and recognize student achievement. Competitions are held in the following categories: Vocal Classical Solo (Male and Female) and Music Theatre Solo (Male and Female).

To participate, you must be a registered student at a Maricopa Community College. Solo competition entrants must be enrolled in private music instruction specific to that category at their college. Music Theater Performance Competition entrants must be enrolled in a music theater class or private voice lessons at their college. Prior First Place competition winners in the solo category are not eligible to participate in the same solo category again.

The competition takes place on March 21, 2014, at Chandler Gilbert Community College. Adjudication will be in person. You will be notified of your assigned performance time by March 17.
