Federation Festival in Manassas (NFMC/VFMC)
Manassas Baptist Church, 8800 Sudley Road, Manassas

February 24 - Special Circumstance Students
February 25 - Piano
March 17 - Vocal & Instrumental

The National Federation of Music Club Festivals program is designed to stimulate interest in American and world music and encourage participants to reach high standards of musical achievement. It is not a competition but an opportunity to perform and receive evaluations. All members are eligible to enter students in the festival but must federate their students into a Junior Club with VFMC. Plan to attend a mandatory informational meeting in the early fall. Every participating teacher is expected to judge in the festival. Applications are submitted in early January at a scheduled check-in time and location. Teachers are expected to read the rules as published in the NFMC Festival Bulletin and are responsible for the music selections of their students. For more information contact Mary Dart or Mary Beran.
