RATINGS SHEET 

Excerpted from the CHSAA web site.

Rating I
An outstanding, or consistent, performance, with few technical errors exemplifying a truly musical expression. This rating should be reserved for the truly exceptional performance.

Rating II
An excellent performance in many respects, but not worthy of the highest rating due to minor defects in performance techniques, interpretation or ineffective use of existing instrumentation. The CHSAA lexicon says that performances in this rating frequently, but not consistently meet the highest standards.

Rating III
An average, or “good” in CHSAA parlance, performance showing accomplished and marked promise. The performance lacks one or more essential musical qualities, has musical weakness, and ineffectively uses existing instrumentation. In truth, most performances generally belong within the parameters of a “III” rating. It could be viewed as the base from which each group is judged.

Rating IV
A fair performance with many technical errors, poor musical conception, lack of musical interpretation, ineffective use of existing instrumentation, and musically-essential qualities are seldom evident.

Rating V
An ineffective, or unprepared, performance indicating major deficiencies in tone quality, intonation, balance, blend, musical expression and effective use of existing instrumentation. The fundamentals of good performance need careful attention. This rating is used sparingly, citing specific ways to improve major problems.
