• 1 x either Category One or Category Two piece
• 1 x any piece not from the same category as the other
• Maximum aggregate performance time of 8 minutes

Cadenza (3 pieces)

• 1 x Category One piece
• 1 x Category Two piece
• 1 x Director’s Choice piece (all genres of choral music, including Categories One and Two)

Finale (4 pieces)

• 1 x Category One piece
• 1 x Category Two piece
