All 33 regions are utilizing the band and orchestra sight-reading pilot process this year, which is in lieu of the band and orchestra rules in the C&CR and does NOT prohibit the verbal initiation (or counting off) of a sight-reading performance. The updated TMAA compliance official script also reflects language that allows a director to count off the sight-reading performance. The allowance to verbally initiate a sight-reading performance was intentional when the band and orchestra sight-reading pilot was established and is not new language this year.
Sincerely,
Bradley Kent, D.M.A., Director of Music
