Musical Theatre Competition and Workshop

How to Enter High School Competition (Round 1)

• Students must record and submit two separate videos with either a live accompanist or solo piano backing tracks.
• At the beginning of each video, students should state their name and the title of their selection. Videos should be shot from the waist up and recorded in a single take.
• Videos should be submitted as unlisted YouTube video links with the Registration form.
  • One 32-bar (i.e., 90 seconds or less, not including slate with name and the title of selection) Golden Age/Pre-Golden Age Musical Theatre selection (generally from the 1920s through the mid-1960s)
  • One 32-bar Contemporary Musical Theatre selection (1965 and later)

Finalists will be notified via email on Wednesday, May 22, and will be asked to submit electronic copies of their sheet music by Friday, May 24. For the final in-person showcase on June 1, students may opt to bring their own pianist or use an accompanist provided by SUNY Schenectady School of Music (no charge/fee).
