District Talent Contests
Page 15
District talent contest time is fast approaching. Here is some updated
information you will need to pass on to your congregations immediately.
This year we are dropping the DANCE category. In past years there have
been a very limited number of entries in this category, and in some cases
these have been questionable in regard to the appropriateness of style and/
or content. For these reasons we have decided to limit performance material
this year to VOCAL and INSTRUMENTAL only. A performance must be limited to
only ONE of these categories. A vocalist may be self-accompanied, but must
be entered as a vocalist rather than as an instrumentalist.
As in past years, performances must be limited to one selection of not more
than five minutes duration. Also, as in the past, back-up instrumentation
must only support the primary INDIVIDUAL talent. Bands or combos may NOT
enter as the primary talent.
New judication forms reflecting this change will be sent to you shortly.
Other regulations regarding the talent contests are as stated in the pres­
ent Y.O.U Coordinator's Manual.
Track and Field
We will be holding district, regional and national meets in 1981. District
meets must be completed by June 1. You may want to use the Memorial Day
weekend for this meet. The regional meets must be completed by June 22.
The national meet will probably be held in Big Sandy in mid-July this year.
The 1981 Track and Field Rulebook has made the conversion to metric dis­
tances and most state high school finals (70% last year--80% expected this
year) are conducted at metric distances. In light of this, you should con­
duct your district meets using metric distances if at all possible. Read
page 63 of the 1981 rulebook for details on how to do this on a 440 yard
track.
