Friday - Sunday, April 9-11, 2027
We've heard your feedback, and for the 2027 Festival we're excited to introduce a new scheduling procedure designed to reduce the stress of time selection. After completing your registration and uploading your Principal Approval Form and Purchase Order, you will fill out a Google Form to input your scheduling requests. This means there will be no Time Selection Day this year!
Festival Chairs will build the schedule together with the goals of creating an efficient festival experience for everyone and accommodating as many requests as possible.
Please note that each ensemble will be assigned a performance time. If a significant scheduling conflict arises, you may contact the Festival Chairs to discuss the issue. While we will do our best to resolve issues, we may not be able to accommodate all requests.
We appreciate your flexibility as we try this new process and look forward to making festival scheduling simpler and less stressful for everyone involved. When completing the Google Form, please be as flexible as possible with your day and time preferences. This process will work best if everyone is willing to consider multiple options rather than requesting the same specific day or time. For directors with multiple ensembles, we will provide at least a two time slot buffer between ensembles to provide for clinic and warm-up times.
Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and willingness to help us make this new process a success!
