Revision of National NATS Guidelines for Student
Auditions
In 2007 a committee of NATS members surveyed the policies of
chapters,
districts, and regions to assess current trends in student
auditions. Over the next two years the Student Audition
Guidelines committees worked on a revision of the national
guidelines. A link to the new Guidelines is at the bottom of the
Student Auditions page found at
The Georgia Executive Committee will review the National
Guidelines to
determine if any changes will be needed in the Georgia
Guidelines. The Georgia Guidelines are found on this site's
Documents page.

2005 Run-Off Change of Procedure
Beginning with the Georgia Chapter 2005 auditions, in the
large divided classifications, such as Freshman Women, Certificates of
Merit and monetary awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places will be awarded
in each division. 1st place and 2nd place in each division will sing in
a run-off with three new judges to determine who will sing as
representative for their Category in the Winner’s Concert. Those
singing in the run-off will not receive an additional certificate. This
should give recognition to more of our students and make the run-offs
more efficient.
