Program accomplishments
- JUNIOR FESTIVAL IS AN ANNUAL NONCOMPETITIVE EVENT HELD IN 10 DIFFERENT SITES AROUND THE STATE. IN FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 WE HAD 6,653 JUNIOR ENTRIES, 4 GROUP ENTRIES, 15 ADULT ENTRIES, AND 390 TEACHERS PARTICIPATING. THE PIECES PERFORMED ARE SELECTED FROM A NATIONAL BULLETIN OF SELECTIONS BY ONLY AMERICAN COMPOSERS. (THE MISSION OF THE FEDERATION IS TO PROMOTE AMERICAN MUSIC). THEIR SECOND PIECE IS ANOTHER PIECE OF EQUAL DIFFICULTY. STUDENTS RECEIVE A WRITTEN EVALUATION OF THEIR AUDITION AND A RATING. IF THEY RECEIVE THE BEST RATING (SUPERIOR) THEY ARE ELIGIBLE TO ENTER OUR COMPETITIVE EVENT: JUNIOR CONVENTION. THE JUNIOR CONVENTION WAS HELD LIVE AT USF, TAMPA.Expenses $67,077 · grants $14,740 · revenue $71,962
- FEDERATION CUP (FORMERLY CALLED FESTIVAL CUP) IS A REWARD SYSTEM TO MOTIVATE STUDENTS TO CONTINUE WITH THEIR MUSICAL EDUCATION. POINTS ARE EARNED AT THE ANNUAL AREA FESTIVAL FOR EACH RATING. FESTIVAL CUPS ARE EARNED WHEN ACCUMULATING 15; 30; 45; 60; 75 AND 90 POINTS. THE MOST POINTS A STUDENT CAN RECEIVE AT THE EARLY LEVELS FOR EACH EVENT IS FIVE POINTS. CONSEQUENTLY, IT TAKES THE STUDENTS AT LEAST 3, 6, AND 9 YEARS RESPECTIVELY TO RECEIVE THE EARLY CUPS. AS THEY BECOME MORE ADVANCED THEY CAN COMBINE JR III AND SENIOR CONCERTO POINTS WITH SOLO POINTS ALLOWING FOR THE BIGGER CUPS. WE HAVE FOUND THAT STUDENTS WHO MAY NEED ONE OR TWO POINTS FOR THE NEXT LARGER CUP WILL CONTINUE LESSONS TO EARN THE NEXT CUP. CONSEQUENTLY, THEY MAKE IT OVER A SLUMP AND BECOME REJUVENATED AGAIN. IN FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025, WE ORDERED THE FOLLOWING CUPS FOR FLORIDA: 873-15 POINT CUPS; 293-30 POINT CUPS; 89-45 POINT CUPS; 25-60 POINT CUPS 9-75 POINT CUPS AND 3-90 POINT CUPS.
