ALL student performances and warm-up will take place in the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA). Visit our on-line schedule to find out when you perform. See the campus map or Google maps for the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts location.
The Registration Table will be located in the lobby of the Buchanan Center for Performing Arts on the UW campus.
Once registered, a band guide will lead each group to their Warm-up room 30 minutes
before their performance. Each performing group will have a 30-minute warm up. The
warm-up room will have chairs, stands, drum set, cymbals, piano, guitar amp, and bass
amp.
Performances will take place in the BCPA Concert Hall, Theatre Main Stage, and Recital
Hall. Each school group is allotted 30-minutes on stage (including set up and tear
down). Once the performance is ended adjudicators will provide an on-stage clinic
with any time remaining in the 30-minute slot. For example, if a group performs for
20 minutes, they will receive approximately a 10-minute clinic. In this way, the
director can choose how much clinic they receive based on how much music is performed.
A 30-minute performance will not receive an on-stage clinic. Please do not exceed
the 30’ limit for performance, set up, and tear down.
*All vocal groups will perform in the recital hall which is acoustically designed to project the voice, therefore, microphones will not be provided for any vocal group.
All participants will receive recorded comments during the performance from the adjudicators. All comments and ratings are confidential.
Adjudicators will select from each room, Outstanding Band, Swinging-est Section, as
well as outstanding soloist. These will be announced during the award ceremony at
5:00pm.
After your performance, please pick up your adjudication packet at the Registration
Table.
The performance rooms will provide chairs, stands, drum set, cymbals, piano, guitar
amp, bass amp, vibraphone, and necessary sound reinforcement. The performance room
will not provide patch chords, auxiliary percussion, or electric keyboards. Drummers
may use their own cymbals, but no other equipment may be changed.
Directors ARE NOT required to provide scores for adjudicators.
Student drop off and pick up will be located in the North parking lot (near the Law
Building) of the BCPA. All bus parking is located at the Free Express Shuttle lot
on the East side of Willett Drive near the UW soccer stadium and North of the Bison
Run Village Apartments. There is no bus parking at the venues. See parking map.
All cases and other equipment must accompany each band to and from warmup rooms and
there will be a holding place outside of your performance venue where students can
pack their instruments immediately following your performance. All attendees are responsible
for their own equipment and the UW Jazz Festival and University of Wyoming are not
responsible for any lost or stolen items.
