NCPA Ensemble Classification Committee

The Ensemble Classification Committee was created to provide guidance for participating ensembles and the Board of Directors in regards to appropriate classification of participating ensembles throughout the season.

Participating ensembles may submit a video to the committee for the committee to provide classification guidance for the ensemble. To submit a video for classification guidance, email a link of your ensemble’s most recent performance or a run-through to groups@nc-pa.org.

During the season, the committee may be asked to evaluate an ensemble to determine if they have been properly classified.
