Obviously, a score in the 90s represents a well-played solo, but if you're looking to be in contention for All-State next year, you should know that you will most likely need to get a 100 on a Level 6 (and even THEN you can be denied).

I know quite a few kids now pursuing music degrees at top conservatories who got scores of 97s and 98s on their All-State solos (and therefore didn't make Conference All-State), and I also know kids who got 100s that barely practice their instruments and have no intention of majoring in music. There's a lot of debate as to whether or not NYSSMA scores are a good indicator of musical ability.
