• positive/constructive feedback from an experienced choral conductor.
• an annual, non-competitive event that students and teachers can plan towards.

Festival guidelines:

• Piano or live accompaniment only (no taped backing tracks).
• This event is a Choral Festival so the over use of instrumental and vocal solos is not appropriate. The children are adjudicated on their choral performance.
• Strict limit of 2 contrasting songs per choir – combined performance time of no more than 6 minutes.
• Choir must consist of more than 25 students.
• Entry is on a ‘first in basis’.
• An approximate guide: Middle primary choir (years 3 to 4); Senior primary choir (years 5 to 6).
