There is a Registration Worksheet for Teachers to fill out to help Participants and Parents register for the correct classes with the correct spelling/info. Teachers: please print this page out and fill out all the information, and give to your students/parents so that they can register with the correct information with exact timing of pieces. Please click here.

Registration information is entered online. Once you have completed the online registration information, fees are paid by CREDIT CARD ONLY. Do NOT use the payment by “Check” option.

Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable.

This information is required for the Festival to be able to ensure you have entered into the correct class. In age defined classes, select your class based on what age you are as of December 31st, 2023.

You will enter the class that is the average age of the performers in your group.

Example:

For a duet: 13 yrs. + 17 yrs. = 30 divided by 2 = 15. Enter 16 years and under class. For a quartet: 10 yrs. + 12 yrs. + 8 yrs. + 7 yrs. = 37 divided by 4 = 9.25. Enter the 10 years and under class.

Please review the details in the syllabus guidelines.

Enter the sixth performer on the same line as the fifth performer i.e. John Smith, Jane Smith.

Classes may occur on any day during the Festival event and at any time of day when the Festival is in session. Participants cannot reschedule their class time. By default, classes are scheduled 9:30am-9:00pm, seven days a week.
