class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would like to welcome you to the adjudication area of the Falcone Festival. You will find that we invite only highly successful teachers and performers who are dedicated to the furthering of the tuba and euphonium to adjudicate both at the preliminary and festival rounds. Great care is taken during each step of the competition to make sure that only the highest standards are upheld, both by the judges and the contestants. Good luck to all! ~ Beth Wiese, Adjudications Chair<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"
