Furthermore, it is clearly the ethical/professional responsibility of the music educator to follow the established protocol and not compromise or penalize the students due to actions of the professional. Compromises could have legal ramifications, not only to the individual music teachers, but to the organization as well. Non-compliance to the established protocol compromises not only the contractual relationships, but also the integrity of the festivals/evaluations. ECMEA publishes all deadlines and sends a deadline reminder to teachers, and recommends that each teacher submit their student names early to avoid any difficulty accessing the internet. No late registrations or substitutions permitted. Each teacher submitting student names for All-County Festivals must do so at by the deadline and send, via US Mail, one hard copy of their confirmation/invoice form to the Festival Office.Appropriate school is defined as the school that the student attends or the school district in which the student resides. Students of private music teachers, or home educated students must submit solo applications through the student’s appropriate public, private, or parochial school which has paid the annual School Participation Fee. Submitting a student for audition and possible selection to an All-County ensemble is exclusive to member schools, and not available to private teacher-members.
