SUMMARY:Ensemble Instrumental - [Section 7] Percussion Ensemble: Primary & Secondary
DESCRIPTION:Event Name: Percussion Ensemble\nLocation: Mount St Joseph ALH\nSection Number: 7 \nGrade Information:\nSections are based first on grade\, then year.

The Eisteddfod Team will endeavour to group similar years together where possible\, and to prioritise Primary only and Secondary only sections. If sections must be merged\, this will be done across Grade lines\, not based solely on year. Where total entrant numbers in a section are not above the minimum\, the section will comprise open grades. \nGrades for Ensembles are generally 0.5 to 3\, in 0.5 increments. Teachers/Tutors should know the grade based on the piece they are playing (it is often written on the music or can be found online). If you are unsure after checking\, please contact the Eisteddfod Team for clarification. \nSection Guidelines:\nPerformer Limit:\nMaximum 20 Performers \nTime stipulations – performances must not exceed:\nGrade 0.5 – Grade 2: 4 mins\nGrade 2.5 and above: 6 mins\nPerformance will be stopped at 1 minute after time. \n1 piece only to be performed \nAdditional time will be granted for setup\, tuning and clearing the stage.
