Festival entrants should check-in at least fifteen minutes before their class begins. They must provide an original copy of their "personal choice" music for the adjudicator (in the same key and with the page well marked).

The public may enter the adjudication room during an appropriate break.

A Festival program may be purchased at any Check-in desk (cost: $5). It lists the scheduled time and location of every class, the name of the class entrants and its adjudicator. It also contains short biographies of our adjudicators.
