We are pleased to introduce the 2019 Adjudicators…https://ff-festival.com/adjudicators/

We have posted a revised Syllabus today which returns the page numbers to the bottom of each page!  They were previously inadvertently removed and we apologize for any inconvenience that may have caused.  Also, we added “multi-lingual” vocal classes for Classroom Choruses and School Choirs – please refer to page 39 and 40 of the January 30 revision of the Syllabus. 

The Fesival Committee is excited to announce the reintroduction of the Anishinaabemowin Language Division to the 2019 Festival.  Classes have been added to the Syllabus in the Drama Division.  Please stay tuned for more details and for a full press release.  Miigwech.

The Entry Deadline for the 2019 Festival is Friday February 22.  The Entry Forms can be found on the Forms, Fees and Resources page of this website and at the back of the Syllabus.  The updated syllabus has also been posted.

The RRDFPA is please to announce the addition of 2 new awards for 2018.

Stephanie Hawkins Award – $100 will be awarded to a student registered in grade 7-9 at school who has entered three (3) different divisions of the Festival in a single year. The student must enter two (2) classes in each division. This award aims to encourage young performers to try other genres of performing arts and to take a risk.  Including entries in French will increase the award to $150.

ARCT Award – $100 will be awarded for Outstanding Performance in Piano at the ARCT Level.

The Festival Committee has elected to remove the Quick Study as a compulsory class for the Vocal Rose Bowl.  A Quick Study will still be required for the Piano and Instrumental Rose Bowl competition.  The Vocal Syllabus has been updated on the Forms, Fees and Resources page.
