Performance & Event Details
NSSOTA classifies performances on a three tier system: NSSOTA provides studio-wide Tier 2 and Tier 3 performances. Tier 1 performances may also be hosted by NSSOTA instructors at NSSOTA. All students are encouraged to perform at least once in the calendar year for the sake of developing their performance skills.
● Tier 1 Performance: Students perform in a studio performance, community event, charity event, church service, or in front of friends and family at home, etc. These performances are typically informal and demonstrate student progress to develop their performance skills. Memorization is encouraged for this performance tier.
● Tier 2 Performance: Students perform in a formal recital showcase or production. Memorization and a polished performance is expected for this performance tier.
● Tier 3 Performance: Students perform in an adjudicated festival or competition. In this setting, they receive positive critiques and a rating, along with an award based upon their rating. Memorization is required at this performance tier.
