Greetings, all!! It's time for some nitty-gritty details about our upcoming Festival on Saturday, March 22.
We are starting the day at 8am. We learned much last year so we're hoping for a shorter wait time for each of you and better flow throughout the day. I love that these things always improve!
Our gracious judge will arrive the night before and has been treated to a free hotel stay for Friday night by one of my supremely generous families. Thank you, again!

Dress: Nice - (no shorts, no flip-flops), hair away from the face, nails trimmed
Music: Bring your piano book or vocal music with the measures numbered. (I should have all of the vocal music ahead of time.)
Warmup: Everyone has a warmup time. It will be in a separate room away from the sanctuary. There will be a sign.
Performance: Students will perform in the sanctuary. There will be a sign. You will perform from memory and the judge will have your music for reference. She will provide great insight on improving each performance.
Ratings: Every student will receive a rating, and an adjudication form with feedback on the performance. The scale is: SUPERIOR (1), EXCELLENT (2), GOOD (3). I will keep all the forms and we will go over them at the next lesson. Ribbons will be awarded at the Recital Showcases on May 17.
Family: This is a closed performance so family members may not enter. You are free to leave as soon as your musician/s have finished.
Food/Drink: We are not providing snacks or drinks for this event. Please bring what you need.
Pianists: Please adjust the piano bench before you play.
What I need from you asap:
* An idea of the best performance time for your family
* The $25 fee per entry. If a student is performing a vocal and a piano solo,
the fee is $50. Your usual payment method is terrific.
* Any questions
* Notice of anyone who is unable to attend
