Superior performance as evidenced by the
district festival rating from each of the top
performing groups of each ensemble course taught
at the school (band, choir, and orchestra).
All schools must complete the
Online Declaration Form which designates the top
performing group of the genre. This must
be one of the groups performing the highest
grade of literature.
The Online Declaration Form
must be submitted to the State Manager thirty
days prior to the festival.
In order to be considered for the Blue Ribbon Award the top
performing groups MUST perform two pieces from
approved graded music lists (Band and Orchestra
from the VBODA manual, Choirs from the Virginia,
New York or Texas lists), not to include the
warm-up selection. When performing music of two
different grade levels the group will be
classified at the lower level.
Note: Changes have been made as a direct
result of difficulties that have been
encountered in administrating the Blue Ribbon
Award. It is the hope of the President’s
Committee that these changes will not only clear
up problems, but “legitimize” the process.
