In compliance with Southern California Junior Bach Festival (SCJBF) rules, there is no limit on the number of students a teacher may enter. However, no repertoire can be duplicated by students of the same teacher.
Based on their performance, up to 50% of eligible students at the WLA Branch Bach Festival will be selected by the judges to proceed to the Regional Festival.
Please note: While works from the Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook, as well as works by Baroque composers other than Bach, are accepted at the Branch Festival level, students performing these works are NOT eligible to proceed to the Regional Festival level.
The performance time limit per student is five (5) minutes. A single movement of more than five minutes may be subject to interruption. Being stopped due to time-limit restrictions does not affect the selection process.
