REVISED: 10/7/2008
EDITOR’S NOTES: This revision was made to condense the list to 20 selections per category. A plea to all directors in the state, PLEASE check this list for anyone wishing to enter the State Solo Contest and select only a piece from this list.  It is always a tragedy to have a student work so hard on a piece and then be disqualified because the list wasn't checked and their selection isn't on the list.  For questions or comments please contact Ralph Bennett, IMEA State Solo Chairman, 117 W. 440 N, Malad, ID 83252, home: (208) 766-4609, school: (208) 766-4729; bennralp@m.sd351.k12.id.us.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO EDIT THEIR SOLO TO ADHERE TO THE LIMIT OF THEIR TIME SLOT.
