Categories/Repertoire

---

The categories offered this year include the usual NSA offerings, including the Classical (CL), Musical Theatre (MT), Commercial Music (CM), and American Negro Spiritual High School and Collegiate categories.  Please look carefully at the category requirements and repertoire; they follow the new National guidelines very closely. For more information about the American Negro Spiritual categories and repertoire requirements, please go to: https://www.nats.org/American_Negro_Spiritual_Competition.html

Please note that all CM students who participate in the live competition will have amplification provided, in accordance with National guidelines. CM categories will not advance to the National competition; however, starting in 2023-24, they will be included in the National competition.

If you have any questions about repertoire or categories, please contact Emily at auditions@calwestnats.org.
