In addition to a desirable performance opportunity, the Festival of Music is also a valuable chance to learn from respected adjudicators and composers as they evaluate and critique your ensemble's performance. All groups will receive a certificate of participation.

PLEASE NOTE: You will select and register for a performance time. Warm-up times will begin prior to the selected time, with 30 minutes for instrumental groups and 15 minutes for choral groups.
