Quartet Nomination
  • You may nominate one or two balanced quartets.
  • Participation is open to students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades.
  • If you are interested in sending singers and you do not have a quality balanced quartet, please email me and I will attempt to complete your quartet with students from other schools.
  • Please make sure "extra" singers know that if quartets cannot be balanced, they may not be chosen.
  • Please be aware; INCOMPLETE QUARTETS completed on the online nomination form will NOT be accepted unless first approved by SCKMEA. Please know that I will work with you to allow as many of your students to attend as possible.
