Federation Festival is quickly approaching. Please make sure your student is preparing and memorizing their music well these last few weeks. As always, I will host a Prep Class. (Great way to get an extra lesson if your student was sick.)

Festival Prep Class
When: Sat, Feb 1st
Where: My classroom at Trinitas Christian School
Time:  9AM-11AM
What: Everyone will get a chance to perform one (or two) of their pieces for the group. This is also when you till take your official Theory Test.

* Please sign up on my board or via e-mail so I know who to expect. If you miss this day, you will need to take the Theory Test the day of Festival.

Federation Festival
When: Sat, Feb 8
Where: Northwest Florida State College
100 College Blvd, Niceville, FL 32578
Arts Center Music Wing
Time: Assigned. See Below

Directions from Pensacola: Take I-10 East towards Tallahassee. Take exit 56 (State Road 85 South). Turn RIGHT off of the exit and go 15 miles. You will drive through Crestview, and Hurlbrt Field (Eglin Air Force). Stay LEFT when the road splits. You will see ball fields and the college on your left. Turn left onto College Blvd. Take the SECOND entrance (should be marked with Arts Center). Turn RIGHT to the parking lot. Enter through the main doors, which are to the left of the fountain and statues. There is a museum if you have some free time that you may want to check out.

Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your group start time and stay for the whole hour. There are warm up practice rooms on a first come basis. You may or may not see me as I will be accompanying singers and working, but I hope to greet you if I can. Once your group is done, a certificate with a rating will be given right away. Once you have that, you are done. Please remember to bring your music books. You cannot qualify for a score without the original music. I will get official results/judges comments at the end of the day. If your student is up for a Gold Cup Trophy, that will be ready to be presented at the Recital in May.
