Festival Online Registration information With the advent of a new festival software there are some changes to the application process we d like to bring to your attention: Setting Up Your Profiles Every Teacher, Parent, Accompanist, Student and Large Ensemble needs a profile. Teachers are responsible for understanding the syllabus of the festival, and students under the age of majority must be linked to a parent profile. Accompanists need to be linked to registrations as well. Teachers and Parents must create their profiles before students or ensembles do. Here is how you create your profile. 1. Visit http://gander.musicfestivalsuite.com on your Internet connected device. 2. On the Create a Profile section, check all the checkboxes that apply to you (you will use the same profile whether you are a teacher, parent, accompanist or entrant). 3. Read through the Terms and Conditions, click that you have read them, and choose Proceed. 4. Complete all the contact information fields shown on the screen. a. Students will also need to enter the User IDs for their Parent(s) and Teacher(s), which they can get from their parents and teachers. User IDs tend to look like ENT00008. b. Passwords should be written down somewhere so you don t lose them. If you are using the same email address as another user on the software, it is more difficult to recover your password if you lose it (it s possible, but more difficult). 5. Once you have filled out all required fields and chosen Create Profile, you will be sent a confirmation email to the email address you provided. Click on the confirmation link in that email, and you have finished creating your profile! Upon setting up profiles you are able to register for the festival itself. There is a link to a helpful guide to registering as well as a video tutorial. http://www.musicfestivalsuite.com/registering-in-a-festival.html. **Important** To all teachers registering entries into the following groups: - Choral Section - Band, Orchestra, & Ensemble Section - Choral speech The software presents us with a challenge in registering groups we are working with software vendor to find solution, however for this festival year we have decided to go with a manual payment system for the groups listed above; all of the above groups are listed as zero fee on the program so they must be paid separately by cheque to the Kiwanis Club of Gander based on the fees listed in the Syllabus. 2

Rules and Regulations 1. The competition WILL be under the management of the Music Festival committee of the Kiwanis Club of Gander, which is hereinafter called the Committee. 2. All matters not dealt with in these rules WILL be referred to the Committee, whose decisions on such matters WILL be final and binding on all concerned. 3 The Committee WILL assume no responsibility for providing rehearsal facilities. Eligibility 4. All competitions WILL be open to amateurs only, unless otherwise stated. For these competitions, an amateur WILL be defined as any person who, up to the date of closing of entries for the forthcoming festival, has not obtained from the profession or practice of music his or her principal means of livelihood, even if he or she, from time to time, accepts remuneration for musical services rendered. 5. Age limits apply to the competitor's age as of DECEMBER 31, 2018. This corresponds to the practice of the schools. 6. Competitors in Choral Groups, Orchestras, Bands and Ensembles MUST be bona fide members of their respective organizations, and where applicable MUST be enrolled as a student in the school represented. A list of such members MUST be submitted by DECEMBER 14, 2018. 7. Conductors may be either professional or amateur. Conductors may conduct any number of organizations in the same class or otherwise, but MUST NOT sing with their Choral Group or play with their Band, Orchestra or Ensemble. 8. In ALL competitive classes which are structured according to a progressive series of performance LEVELS, the age of the competitor WILL have no bearing upon his eligibility. Each competitor is encouraged to enter at the level that best represents his technical and musical aptitude. 9. In ALL competitive classes a competitor MUST fall within the same age group or level in any one section. This restriction does NOT apply to classes for Concert Groups, Complete Major Solos, Concerto Classes, Duets, Trios, Quartets, etc. 10. A participant may perform only once in each class. 11. University music majors may enter classes in their own age group or level only for recommendation to Provincial Festival and/or awards specific to those classes. 12. Use of digitally enhanced music, including microphones, is prohibited. 13. Selections MUST NOT contain any profanity and/or vulgarity. 14. In Choral and Vocal Classes transposition should be avoided if the key is part of the character being portrayed (Musical Theatre, Gilbert & Sullivan, Senior Vocal Solos). Art Song Solos are acceptable in any published key and may be further transposed to enable competitors to perform most artistically. In ALL other classes such as the Senior Vocal Solo test pieces MUST be performed in the prescribed key unless otherwise specified. 4
15. In all Vocal Solo Classes, test pieces are to be sung in the original language. 16. There are three memorization categories in this syllabus: 1. In classes where the section notes specify that memorization is required (Vocal Solos and the Piano Concert Group 16 years class and older classes considered for the Rose Bowl) test pieces MUST be performed from memory. Anybody using the printed score in such a class WILL be treated as if entered non-competitively. They will receive adjudication but WILL NOT be eligible for prizes or cash awards. 2. In the bulk of the festival classes no comment is made about memorization in the section notes. In these classes it is understood that memorization is expected and encouraged. The adjudicator may deduct marks for using the music if he or she considers that it makes a difference in the presentation, performance or demonstrated ability of the performer. 3. Finally there are some sections in which it is stated that memorization is NOT required (e.g., Beginning and Junior Instrumental). In these classes the adjudicator may NOT make memorization a factor in distinguishing between performances and in assigning marks. Please read section notes carefully to determine which memorization category applies. These categories apply to solo classes only. Duet and ensemble classes are exempt from memorization requirements. 17. Competitors MUST NOT exceed the performance time limit in classes where such a time limit is specified in the syllabus. Adjudicators WILL stop any competitor who exceeds such limit. Competitors WILL be penalized for obvious abuse of time limits. 18. In ALL classes marked "Own Choice, the competitor MUST give the adjudicator an ORIGINAL of the music (Conductor's Full Score where applicable). This is to be given to the adjudicator s Secretary immediately preceding the respective competition and recovered from the Secretary immediately following the competition. Please note that photocopies WILL NOT be accepted. (See rule 21 below). 19. In CONCERT GROUPS, ALL SECTIONS, competitors WILL be judged on the discrimination shown in their selections which MUST be from a standard concert repertoire and should be from the areas specified in the syllabus. Regard should be shown to the group arrangement, contrast, and appropriateness of keys, technique, interpretation and stage presence. Competitors MUST NOT include, in this class, any selection that they are already performing in the current festival. 20. Repeats WILL NOT be played unless specifically stated in the syllabus. Da Capo and Dal Segno repeats MUST be observed. This rule applies to ALL instruments. 21. Manuscript copying or photocopying of a Copyright piece of music is an infringement of the Copyright Act. See page 12 - "Copyright Clarification". 22. Competitors MUST NOT perform the same "Own Choice" selection from prior festivals. 5
Entry 23. Entries MUST be submitted on official entry forms Online. 24. Entries that do not include complete information about Own Choice selections or are otherwise incomplete WILL be returned and a reprocessing fee of $10 per entry WILL be assessed. 25. Entrants who at the time of the festival perform a different selection than the one listed in the program WILL be considered non-competitive. 26. Any entry can be specified a non-competitive entry by writing the letters NC after the class number on the entry form. Non-competitive entries WILL receive adjudication, but no marks. 27. No competitor may participate in more than 12 classes of which NOT more than 8 WILL be solo or small group (NOT more than 9 people) classes. "Sight Reading" classes are NOT included in this figure. Any competitor exceeding the limit runs the risk of having the excess entries refused by the secretary because of scheduling difficulties. 28. The Committee WILL determine the closing date for receiving entries. 29. The Committee reserves the right to reject any entry for any reason. 30. When registering online, particular attention should be given to the section marked "Group Classes Entered". It is NOT necessary for solo entrants to list other solo classes entered, however, ALL GROUP CLASSES entered, such as duets, trios, quartets, etc. as well as bands and choirs, MUST be listed by CLASS NUMBER. 31. Conflicts in scheduling the program can only be avoided if that section (rule 30) of the entry form is filled in correctly. It is also important to identify performers and schools correctly by name. Please do NOT use abbreviations. 32. Entry fees CANNOT be refunded except under circumstances in which the Committee rejects the entry. Competitors wanting to withdraw MUST do so IN WRITING to the Festival address as early as possible. Failure to participate in all classes entered and programmed WILL influence the awarding of scholarships. 33. Entry and list forms may be accessed from http://kiwanisclubofgander.ca. Entries and Fees MUST Be Completed Online to by December 7, 2018. Choir/Band membership lists and fees MUST be submitted by DECEMBER 14, 2018. 6
Program Procedure 34. The Committee WILL decide the order in which classes will be taken, and the order of competitors in the classes. The Committee reserves the right to alter the order if necessary. 35. Special scheduling considerations MUST be requested at the time entries are submitted. Last minute scheduling changes, because of travel or bussing restrictions, volunteer availability, etc., WILL NOT be considered. 36. The Committee may split any class into sub-groups of approximately equal numbers. While there will be only one highest mark between the overall class; placement rankings WILL be awarded for each sub-group. 37. A competitor s admission letter showing the dates, times and venues of the entrant's competitions WILL be sent to each competitor. This letter serves two purposes: (a) The letter is your admission to the session (with the accompanist where applicable) and should b e shown to the Platform Marshall immediately prior to the class competition. (b) In cases where an entrant has a conflict in time between two classes an immediate call might enable the Festival Secretary to resolve the problem. 38. A competitor may be disqualified if he or she is NOT ready to compete when called. A class WILL NOT be delayed to accommodate latecomers. Only revisions provided for above (rule 36) WILL be considered. 39. Each competitor requiring the services of an accompanist MUST provide his or her own accompanist. Classes WILL NOT be delayed to wait for an accompanist. (Also see rule 12, page 4) Providing accompanist information on the entry form will greatly assist scheduling and avoiding conflicts. 40. The Committee CANNOT assure competitors that conflicts in scheduling WILL NOT occur. Where a competitor is entered in time conflicting classes, he or she MUST elect to withdraw from sufficient classes in order to resolve the conflict. 41. The Adjudicators WILL have discretionary power to stop any performance at any time. 42. Prevailing circumstances and such pertinent regulations as may be considered advisable by the Committee WILL govern the admission of competitors and general public to auditoriums in which the competitions are being held. 43. The competition WILL be open to the public on payment of the price fixed by the Committee. Please note that general audiences are NOT allowed in Sight Reading classes. 44. The Committee WILL assume no responsibility for providing facilities for rehearsals. Awards and Prizes 45. The marks awarded by the Adjudicator are FINAL. 46. At the discretion of the Committee, two or more competitors awarded the highest marks in their class may be selected by the adjudicators to compete in a final test. 47. Certificates will be awarded to the three entrants gaining the highest marks in each competitive class, but certificates WILL NOT be awarded unless the following percentages of the possible marks have been attained: 75 per cent in Choral, Orchestral and Band Classes, 80 per cent in all other classes. 7
48. In those classes for which trophies, cash awards, or plaques have been provided, 85 per cent of the possible marks WILL be necessary to obtain such trophy, cash award or plaque. This rule does NOT apply to Scholarships that are governed by their own rules. 49. Trophies, cash awards, plaques and certificates will be presented at a time decided upon by the Committee. 50. Any competitor with a mark of 85% may be chosen for the "Highlights" Concert, based on the absolute discretion of the Adjudicators. 51. Scholarships and cash awards are awarded at the absolute discretion of the adjudicators to competitors who show most promise of true development musically. Scholarships are NOT necessarily awarded to winners of first, second or third place. Complaints and Protests 52. A complaint or protest MUST be made directly to the committee by submitting the same in writing to the Festival Secretary. A fee equivalent to the entry fee MUST accompany such complaint or protest for the class protested. The protest fee WILL be refunded if the Committee sustains the complaint. 53. Complaints SHALL NOT be addressed to an Adjudicator.

Progression to this level of competition shall be via the Provincial and Local Festivals. At the local festival there may be one winner named to compete provincially in each of the available classes. For clarity, this year we have incorporated classes in each discipline from which only those entrants will be considered for recommendation to the provincial/national level. The Provincial and National regulations and syllabus are available may be downloaded from the link on the Kiwanis Club of Gander website: http://kiwanisclubofgander.ca or directly from the Federation of Canadian Music Festival website: www.fcmf.org. We have incorporated the 9 classes to be considered for recommendation throughout the syllabus as appropriate. MEMORY WORK is MANDATORY at the provincial level except for the instrumental ensemble class. Contestants MUST perform the selection on which they were recommended by the adjudicator at the local level. At the national level they MUST play all the movements of the sonata from the provincial level and may perform further movements of the own choice selection if time allows. The rules state that the winner who is recommended in each eligible Class shall be a Participant who displays the greatest musicianship, with a minimum of 85 marks. 11
Clarifying Copyright What Every Music Educator Needs to Know Original excerpted from Festival Features, March 1995, a newsletter of The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited. Revised November 2004. Reprinted with permission. The term "copyright" refers to the rights of a creator of intellectual property, such as a work of music. Although the rights may NOT be easily tangible, a creative work is a valuable property. The Canadian Copyright Act protects the rights of creators to retain control over, and be compensated for, the use of their intellectual property. Many people do NOT realize that the unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted materials, such as print music, is in essence, theft. As music educators, we all recognize the value of creativity. Music teachers can play an important role in encouraging their students to respect composers' efforts by ensuring that students are made aware of the intent of the Canadian Copyright Act Misconception 1: A teacher may copy music for educational purposes. False. Many teachers may be under the impression that photocopying for educational use is legal. Although public school boards, colleges, and universities may have negotiated licenses to enjoy special copying privileges in defined situations, print music is excluded from this arrangement. This means that teachers - including independent studio music teachers - are NOT authorized to photocopy print music. The publisher, often acting as the representative of the composer, should be contacted directly to obtain permission to make copies of print music for any purpose. Misconception 2: It is permissible to photocopy music in order to facilitate page turns. False. Permission MUST be granted by the holder of the copyright (the publisher) on the composer's behalf in order for a copy to be made for any purpose, including the facilitation of page turns.* To understand the rationale underpinning this aspect of the Copyright Act, imagine that you wish to borrow your neighbor's shovel. Your neighbor WILL probably NOT say "no" or charge you a fee to use the shovel, but you would never borrow it without first seeking permission. As with your neighbor, a publisher's permission is required before you "borrow" an extra copy of print music on which the publisher holds the copyright. Misconception 3: It is legal to photocopy music from out-of-print publications. False. A creator's right to be compensated for the use of their creation continues after a book is no longer for sale. Copying out-of-print music still requires the permission of the copyright holder in order to avoid violation of the Copyright Act. On occasion, a teacher may wish his or her student to study a particular piece of music that is no longer available from music retailers. Contact the publisher of the music for permission to make a copy. Misconception 4: Permission is NOT required to copy the works of long-dead composers. False. Copyright exists both in a musical composition and in the physical notation of a musical score. This means that even if a composer's works themselves are in the public domain (for example, as Bach's are), a particular publisher's edition of those works may NOT be in the public domain. Therefore, if you wish to write out one of Bach's Inventions by hand, you may do so, but you may NOT photocopy it from a printed book without the publisher's permission. (Note: the compositions of living composers or of composers who have been dead for fewer than seventy years should NOT be copied, either by hand or otherwise, without permission). *With this public notice, The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited is pleased to grant permission to festival, recital, and examination participants to use one photocopy of one page of their original score published by The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited for the purpose of facilitating a page turn. This permission is granted for a one-time use only, with the understanding that the photocopy WILL be destroyed immediately following the performance. 12
