A teacher should not present any students as his/her own until

teacher. Students may play more than one instrument but may appear
only once on each instrument at any Branch or Regional Festival.
There is no limit placed on the number
of students from any studio participating at a Branch Festival
since the purpose of the festival is to encourage students to
study and perform the works of J.S. Bach.
Students of strings, woodwinds and voice will be judged in an
all-Branch Regional Festival.
At the branch level, students may play
any original music of J. S. Bach, transcriptions of Bach’s
music, or music of other Baroque composers. However, to be eligible
