Details for the festival. This is a solo and ensemble festival for 7-9th graders. It is to get students together in small groups to work on music, learn about small ensemble and solo playing, become better and more independent musicians, (and have a little fun as well). There are 6 schools participating in the festival. It is hosted at Maple Grove Junior this year.
There is a small entrance fee for each group that the group will need to pay up front. This is to cover the cost of the using the school on a weekend, and to help find us judges, for each of the student ensembles.
You need to complete a few steps to get yourself going and set for the festival.
1. You need to get the instrumentation (what instruments are in your group) of your group approved by me.
2. Sign up your group on the sheet on the board.
3. Make an appointment with me to pick out music.
4. PRACTICE!
5. PRACTICE!
6. Meet with me to work as a group. It doesn't count unless all members of the group are there. You cannot go to the festival without working with me at least 3 times before April 26th, 2008.
7. Everyone will have to play for me before you will be assigned a festival time. This is to ensure we are all putting forth the same amount of effort in your group.
I know this seems like a lot but it is to ensure that everyone has a spectacular experience!
