From the students who prepare these challenging solos, students are asked to submit their ratings for review to be chosen to play in a Zone (approximately 3-5 county area) Festival with some of the best players from that area. When students reach high school age, they begin preparing more difficult solos - those that are considered a New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) Level V or Level VI.
