What are All-County, All-State, and All-Eastern? The adjudication sheet will then be copied by our music department and used to assist in nomination students for possible participation to All-County, All-State and All-Eastern groups. The student’s written evaluation will reinforce what they do well and will also get constructive criticism by an adjudicator who specializes on the student’s particular instrument. Additional information concerning NYSSMA is obtainable through the organizations website: Why should students perform at NYSSMA? Students who perform at the top three levels receive a medal for their efforts.

Students that perform in an ensemble (duets, trios, etc.) will only perform the selected piece. Each student will receive his or her own adjudication sheet that explains the grade. The resultant ratings for levels I-IV of O (outstanding), E (excellent), G (good), F (fair) and levels V-IV of a letter grade are determined by an overall performance score. Students will perform this before an official NYSSMA adjudicator.
