NOTE: Beginning August 2018, the newest updates will appear at the beginning of the list.
Sometimes catalogue numbers and publishers change, especially when a piece by a self-published composer is picked up by a publishing house once the piece is selected for the Festivals Bulletin. A selected piece may be in a different collection or a single sheet. If it is EXACTLY the same music as listed in the Bulletin, the other edition is acceptable.
The updates are listed in Bulletin order, and all corrections for an event will be listed together. Newest updates are highlighted in yellow.
Clarification: A rule was inadvertently omitted from Section 3: Juniors may progress or repeat a class one time regardless of the rating received in other events. A different required and choice piece must be used. Refer to Rule 3.a for events that must progress with a Superior rating.
Clarification for p. 6, #4: In Fiddling, Ukulele, or Guitar Events where accompaniments are indicated only by chord symbols, pieces may be accompanied on piano, guitar, or other instrument where the chords can be fully realized.
Some editions of fiddle tunes for beginning players have omitted the chord symbols in the score. This is to reduce visual clutter and to assist the focus of beginning fiddlers. It is the accepted and expected practice to utilize accompaniments for fiddle tunes in all classes. Therefore, accompaniment should be played for entrants in Fiddle Events, even if there are no chord symbols in the original score. The added designated chords must appear in the jmude’s copy. Editions of beginning music for Ukulele or Guitar which do not have chord symbols may also add chord symbols for accompaniment.
Any piece that has the publisher code of SMP should be adjusted to SMPR.
Any piece that has the publisher code of PTP should be adjusted to MAN.
