Adjudicator Questionnaire

WPSMF Adjudicator Questionnaire

Potential Winter Park Ski-Music Festival adjudicators-
Thank you for your interest in adjudicating for WPSMF! If you will please, complete the below questionnaire for us. Your responses will assist us in knowing which adjudicators are available on particular festival weeks and dates.

At this time, we are still having bands, choirs and orchestras registering to join us for the spring, and the ensemble makeup for each festival week remains unknown. Once ensemble and performance information begins to solidify for us in the upcoming months, we will then begin selecting the most appropriate and available adjudicators.

We understand your schedule may fill after you complete this form. If another definitive judging opportunity comes along, or you need to schedule any future events on dates you indicated below, please go ahead and plan for those if we have not reached out to you first. We understand!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at 866-625-6821 or at info@winterparkskimusicfestival.com

Please Complete

Music Education Experience - Please select any that you have a reasonable amount of experience with.

Capable Adjudication - Regardless of your past music educator experience, select any below you feel you have been, or would be a qualified adjudicator, providing competent, skillful, and effective communication to music directors of accomplished high school programs.

Summary of Performance Schedule - Next, let us ask about when you could judge for the Winter Park Ski-Music Festival. Until the performance schedules begin to solidify in February, we simply like to ask now if adjudicators are available during a specific festival week(s). Festival weeks that do NOT include Good Friday or Easter Sunday, instrumental performances can be on Thursday evenings, definitely any time during Friday, and possibly Saturday mornings. Choral performances for these festival weeks are typically scheduled within Friday evenings only. Festival weeks that include Good Friday and Easter Sunday, are often times less attended, and we try our best to have instrumental performances anytime on Thursday, and possibly Friday morning. Choral performances are sometime within Thursday evening only.

Winter Park arrival/departure dates for INSTRUMENTAL Judges: For NON- Easter weeks, and for judges flying into Denver, we like to have you up in Winter Park no later than either Wednesday evening, or very early Thursday morning, through Saturday morning. Instrumental judges need to be in Winter Park no later than Wednesday evening for a Easter festival week, through Friday morning.

Winter Park arrival/departure dates for CHORAL Judges: for NON- Easter weeks, and for judges flying into Denver, we like to have you up in Winter Park no later than Friday morning for Friday evening performances. Choral judges need to be in Winter Park no later than Thursday morning for Thursday evening performances on a Easter festival week.

Do you have a desire to Ski while in Winter Park? The above days and times of day are when we need adjudication. If we select you to adjudicate for us, we can possibly accommodate you with a day prior arrival, or a day afterward departure with skiing, if desired.

SKI EXPERIENCE - Are you a Skier or Snowboarder? Tell us about your experience.

BASED ON THE INFORMATION ABOVE, WHAT FESTIVAL WEEK(S) WOULD YOUR CURRENT SCHEDULE ALLOW - Please select any week(s) you are available to judge. The below dates are the festival weeks we publish for groups. This does not mean you will be up in Winter Park, or away from home during all the dates shown!

OVERNIGHT LODGING FOR ADJUDICATORS - For the past 20+ years, the festival staff sets up its office and stays overnight in a large modern 8 bedroom cabin. This cabin has large communal living, dining and kitchen areas. Each bedroom has 2 double beds and private bath. Festival adjudicators also stay within this same cabin. Adjudicators tell us they really enjoy being in the same space with other judges, and the festival staff, as opposed to a private accommodation without other judge’s interaction. We are told, it feels like a family gathering of sorts. There are times when the cabin may seem like a whirlwind of activity, with lots of musician fellowship. But whenever a person wants to refrain from others, there is nothing awkward when a person retreats to their bedroom for sleep, solitude or work on their computer. Most often, we can provide a private room for judges. Sometimes, we may ask a judge to share a bedroom with a another same gender judge, especially if they are already friends. WOULD STAYING IN A CABIN WITH FESTIVAL STAFF OR OTHER JUDGES BE OK WITH YOU?

RENTAL CAR - If you are a judge with a home location requiring a flight into Denver, and then some form of transportation into Winter Park, would you be willing to pay for a pre-reserved rental car between Denver International Airport and Winter Park, and be reimbursed shortly afterward by WPSMF? You may have other judges accompanying you, and winter weather driving conditions may exist.
