Please be sure to read all the rules and regulations. Also note the following:

  • The pieces do not need to be performed by memory but a copy of the score must be given to the adjudicator via the adjudicator liaison or session secretary at the start of each class.
  • A maximum of two assistants are permitted to assist with the turning of pages and the drawing of stops.
  • Participants will receive a signal from the adjudicator to begin, after which they will be expected to announce the title and composer of their “own choice” piece before its performance.
  • If possible, please list the title and composer on the entry form.
  • A certificate will be present to each single participant or participating group. Unless otherwise indicated under the class heading in the syllabus, standings will be awarded on the certificates according to the following scale of marks:
    GOLD – a mark of 85 or higher
    SILVER – a mark of 80 to 84
    BRONZE – a mark of 75 to 79
    PARTICIPANT- mark of 74 or lower
  • Any participant may request adjudication only. Please indicate this preference by checking the appropriate box (A/O) on the entry form. A certificate of participation and comments from the adjudicator will be given but no mark or standing will be noted.
  • The adjudicators may award trophies at their discretion and these awards will be given out at the Festival Encores concert in May.
  • To make arrangements for practice time on the St. Paul’s 3-manual Casavant pipe organ prior to the scheduled class, please contact the Division Co-ordinator above.
  • According to Federal Law, it is illegal to copy documents which are copyrighted without first obtaining permission from the copyright owner. No photocopies will be accepted by a Festival representative unless there is accompanying documentation indicating permission to photocopy was granted by the copyright holder.
