SAN JACINTO FEDERATED MUSIC CLUB
(TEXAS FEDERATED MUSIC CLUBS)
1st Annual GOLD CUP FESTIVAL

Dear Parents and Students,

The San Jacinto Federated Music Club is pleased to present the first of many Annual Gold Cup Festivals. This year, the Festival will be held At Alvin Community College, in the Fine Arts Center at 3110 Mustang Rd., in Alvin. Festival events will be held on Sat. March 1st and Sat. March 8th.

Please bring the following with you:
• Your original sheet music, marked with clips or labels to the particular song if it is in a collection, with the first measure of each line numbered in pencil (counting measures).
• Non-Memorized Hymns must provide 2 original copies of the music
• Color-coded critique sheet for each event, completed with student information
Piano Solo Events (Hymns and Patriotic/Folk included) – White
Ensemble Events – Green
Concerto Events – Pink
Vocal Solo Events – Blue
Arrive at the college about 15 minutes prior to your performance time to register. After registering, parents will be directed to the parent waiting area, and students may be asked to wait in the hall near the judge’s room, or in the waiting area until called. Each student will be judged in a private audition. After your performance in each event you registered for, you are finished and may leave.

Theory Test Event: Students taking the theory exam should bring a pencil. Once they complete their performance events, students should find the theory room and take the test before leaving the festival.

Scores: Students receiving any Superior rating (including plusses and minuses) will be eligible to compete in the Texas Federated Music Clubs State Festival. That Competition will be held May 17,2008 at Texas State University, Music Building, in San Marcos. One student for each level and event will be chosen as All-State Musician out of all competing students in the state of Texas.

Earning a cup in any event requires 15 points - and usually it takes 3-4 years to earn one.
