How it All Works

Daily Outline

When not perfoming, members of the ensemble are encouraged to attend the sessions remainng performances in the audience to support the other ensembles.

Both the morning and afternoon sessions have complimentory workshops and mentoring sessions running all day so ensembles can perform for example in the morning session then attend workshops in the afternoon and the opposite for those performing in the afternoon.

_{*Each day ends with an awards ceremony.}

Your Ensemble Concert Performance

Each ensemble has a performance time of 20 mins on the main stage and 5 mins either side for entering and leaving the main stage.

Performances will be evaluated by some of of New Zealand and Australia’s top educators and clinicians who will provide valuable written and spoken feedback on the performances, as well as taking a support clinic immediately afterwards.

After your ensembles main performance the group will be taken to the workshop hall nearby for a short personal workshop with one of the clinicians who has watched and evaluated your performance.

_{*The second hall is set to allow a quick transition for attendees and a more relaxed atmosphere for the workshop.}

Daily Workshops

During the course of the day a series of workshops and mentoring sessions are run in the morning then again in the afternoon. This allows WeBO participants the options of attending and supporting their perfomance session, and also recieve valuable tuition and support from our great mentors in workshops at the opposite part of the day.

Awards

Every ensemble performing receives a Platinum, Gold or Silver participation certificate along with a director’s video containing the adjudicators voice over. WeBO is primarily a participation event, so no matter your ensembles skill set, or repertoire, awards are given on key criteria that encompass all aspects of an ensemble.
