Music Festival · Solo & Ensemble
US school solo and ensemble festival graded by playing experience, where entries earn a rating from I to V rather than a placing.
A ready-made Solo & Ensemble Music Festival (WSMA) structure you can install as-is or adjust once it’s live — the age groups, items and rules below are a starting point, not a fixed package.
Age groups
Every candidate is placed into one of these groups by age, and competitions are run per group.
- Cls C 1-2y exp — ages 11 to 18
- Cls B 3-4y exp — ages 11 to 18
- Cls A advanced — ages 11 to 18
Competition items
The events themselves — each with the category it belongs to and how judges score it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change this template after installing it?
Yes — installing it creates a fully configured, live event, not a locked package. Every age group, competition item, rule and scoring setting can be edited afterwards to match exactly what your event actually needs.
Do I need technical knowledge to set this up?
No. Installing a template does the setup work for you; you only need to review the details (dates, unit or house names) and open registration.
