The WMEA Board has approved to pilot a second state solo and ensemble contest that would serve 1A/2B/1B schools. 4A/3A/2A schools would continue to qualify for the contest in Ellensburg. Preliminary thought is to locate the new contest in Wenatchee and most likely be held a week earlier than the 4A/3A/2A event. All schools, regardless of size would continue to participate in their region contest as in the past. The change being each region would produce two sets of state qualifiers—those for the 4A/3A/2A contest and those for the 1A/2B/1B contest. The new contest would be subject to our current state contest rules document.
WIAA would have final approval of any changes to our current contest format. In order to prepare for presenting this new contest plan to the WIAA Board, we would appreciate your feedback by answering the following questions. Comments are optional but could be helpful.
