The required Test Pieces for the 2009 Competition will not be announced until approved by the Board at the September Board Meeting.

In the interim, please note the following excerpt from the Contest Rules. This will be strictly applied to the entries for the 2009 Competition. Explanations stating that your Choice Piece music has been ordered but not yet arrived will not be accepted. Plan ahead and choose pieces for which you know you will have the extra conductor's scores in hand to submit with your Entry Form. This is necessary in order to ensure that adjudicators receive the scores in time to be able to adequately prepare in advance of their arrival at the Championships.

Entry packets that arrive without all required materials will be returned.
