Promotions

---

At the conclusion of each season the Music & Grading Committee reviews the results of ASPD sanctioned competitions to determine individual members and their grade placing.  During the season, Judges are asked to adjudicate each performance and provide performance ratings for each individual player.  These ratings combined with Music & Grading Committee member input are considered when determining grade promotions.
