Elmer Schenk opened up two ideas for discussion.
1. Since beginners at any grade in choir can use Class 3 Solos,
he
suggested an idea that a similar rule be made for band. Survey
in the
meeting showed support of this idea.
2. Suggested proposition of getting memory eliminated at the
region
solo contest.
Memory only for state level. Survey in the meeting showed disagreement
about this idea.
