Possible competition for high school students in North Texas

I am trying to start a small competition for high school-age euphonium and tuba players. It would be at the University of North Texas in Denton, TX, and it would take place probably in May. I'm hoping that with the support of the UNT music school, its faculty, and the UNT branch of ITEA, this could become a really great event to have in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.

Nothing is definite yet - right now, I am just looking for students who would be interested in participating, and private teachers who think their students would come. I'm also looking for suggestions regarding all aspects of the competition including repertoire selection, scoring/judging methods, competition structure, etc. If you have any experience with this at all, I'd love to have your input.

Thanks in advance,
Jamie Lipton
