2014 LOCAL ADDENDUM

Information and Regulations Pertaining to

Locally Created Classes

Local classes have been created to allow for greater accessibility to our festival.

A three-digit number indicates a locally created class. Only those locally created classes approved in

advance by the Executive Director of the Alberta Music Festival Association can be used to satisfy

eligibility to the Provincial Festival.

Addendum classes may be REQUESTED. Requests will be considered up to the beginning of June for

inclusion in the local addendum the following festival year.

The Local Classes Committee’s aim is to create a set of local classes to parallel the provincial syllabus.

Our Association believes that the most important aspects of music festival are the participation of

students and the learning derived from the adjudicator’s remarks.

Competitors, teachers and parents are strongly urged to carefully study the Provincial Syllabus and the

Local Addendum. Contact the local Entry Secretary if clarification is needed:

13. Rules Specific to Awards:

a. Awards may be offered to competitors who enter PROVINCIAL and/or LOCAL classes.

the adjudicators.

It is the competitor’s responsibility to know and follow the rules of the Provincial and Local Festival.

Failure to comply with the rules in their entirety may result in cancellation of the competitor’s entry

and forfeiture of awards.

Competitions shall be under the working management of the Festival Committee, and any questions of

interpretation or of matters not dealt within the rules shall be referred to the Committee, whose decision on any

such matters shall be final and binding for all concerned.

The scope of any Festival requires that participants comply with all Alberta Music Festival Association rules. Such

are updated annually and can be found in the Provincial Syllabus located on the Alberta Music Festival Association

Web Site: http://www.albertamusicfestival.org

Local additions to the provincial rules will also be printed in our official program.
