Article Rejected: Guidelines for Education News

REJECTION REASON: This submission lacks reportable news. The source material describes only a past event (Suburban Council Music Festival, weekend of June 7-8, 2026) with no outcomes reported — no performance results, awards, audience reception, or other developments that would constitute current news.

The article lists student names and states they participated. Without details about what happened at the festival or its impact, this is a stale event announcement, not a news story.

REQUIRED TO PROCEED: Reporter must obtain and report at least one of the following: (1) competition results or awards the AMS chorus received, (2) specific details about their performance, (3) quotes from a director or student about the experience or outcome, or (4) information about how this performance affects upcoming school events or programs.

Resubmit with reportable news, or hold for publication until results are available.
