students must be enrolled in a minimum of six (6) credits to be considered
eligible (an exception is granted in the “community” category
where all members need only be enrolled in the group course). ANY group
may choose to perform non-competitively, but the festival staff must be
notified. Non-competitive groups will receive judges’ comments, but
will not be eligible for awards.
