Official IASCA SQC approved judging material
Beginning with the 2024 competition season, IASCA SQC judging material will be the competitor’s responsibility to obtain the material and must have them ready, in their entirety, prior to any event.
Below are directions on how to obtain the tracks through Apple Music and Amazon. Tracks can be purchased through other sources, but it is the competitor’s responsibility to obtain the same tracks as presented below. IASCA staff is not responsible for assisting with purchasing these tracks via another source besides Apple Music or Amazon.
Apple Music
How to purchase on Apple Music/iTunes
By following the links below, it will direct you to the web version of the Apple interface. Once there you can click the iTunes Store link at the bottom (see pic below) which will open iTunes on your computer (if you don’t are not on a Mac you may need to install the Apple Music application).
From here, you can either select to buy the entire album or individual tracks. In this case the Album costs $9.99 or each track is $1.29, these prices vary from album to album but normally they are within cents. By purchasing the material you can freely move the tracks to anywhere you’d like (ie USB drive, burn a CD, etc.) and don’t need to rely on a data connection to playback, this is the preferred method.
