Note: To keep the overall admission costs for our students' families as low as possible, District III no longer offers "family" rates, "student" rates and "senior" rates.

MMEA Institutional Fee:

If a school does not provide their MMEA Institutional Number as proof of their payment of the Institutional fee, an extra $20 must be enclosed for each festival for which that school registers. If it is not, the "no pay, no play" policy will apply.

Adjudicators' Fees:

$20.00 per hour.

Applies to: Solo & Ensemble, Jazz (group adjudication), Jazz Honors auditions, Junior High Honors auditions & Senior High Honors auditions.

 

Since groups attending the Jazz (group adjudication) Festival have the opportunity to advance to a State level Jazz Festival, adjudication fees are set by State guidelines which supercede District policies. Check the latest MMEA Handbook for all Jazz Festival details.

Mileage Fees:

40¢ per mile

paid to: Exec. Board members who attend Exec. Board meetings, Adjudicators, Festival Conductors and Accompanists.

Conductors' Fees:

$200 per day.

Accompanists' Fees:

$150 per day.

Host Fees:

$300: all auditions, Jazz (group adjudication), S&E

$400: 6HF, EHF, Jazz Honors

$500: SHHF, JHHF

Factors taken into consideration: number of students/groups involved, size of audience for performance, number of days included in the festival.

If 25% of the gate is larger than the designated host fee, the host gets 25% of the gate instead.
