Special Notes:
Rating Opt-out
Ensembles may choose to receive a rating for their performances, however, ensembles that do not elect to receive a rating are still eligible for MusicFest Nationals invitations.
Please note that only ensembles receiving a rating are required to perform pieces from the MusicFest Canada Concert Band Syllabus. All other groups should perform a contrasting program based on the guidelines listed under Performance Requirements later in this document.
Honour Awards
In January, ensemble directors are invited to nominate only one member of each participating ensemble for an Honour Award. This is optional.
This award is at the discretion of the director and could be based on ensemble member attributes such as musicianship, most improved, dedication to the ensemble etc..
The Honour Award Nominee will be presented with an honour certificate at the conclusion of the ensemble’s performance.
Please note that a separate form for honour award nominees will be sent out in January once registrations have been processed.
