Performance Group application entries will be saved to an interactive database. The submitting director will create a PIN, and the application will be assigned a "PassKey" upon completion of the form. Record that PassKey when it appears onscreen. The PassKey and PIN will give you access to the "Performance Group Manager" system. Once logged in, directors can notify KMEA of the postmark date on which the completed application was mailed to KMEA. Likewise, KMEA will mark the date on which the application arrived.

The Performance Group Manager will be used by Directors to:

Edit Selections prior to mailing
Print completed application forms
Indicate date package was mailed
Monitor date package was received by KMEA
Complete the Performance Repertoire Report ... now open for entries
Make changes to the Performance Repertoire Report ... now open for entries

Preview completed applications
Monitor date packages are sent to KMEA
Indicate date packages are received
Make announcements to selected directors
