Each year we host a Festival for our students as well as students from the surrounding area.
At Festival, each group performs selected pieces and sight reading for several judges. The judges give them comments and a rating. It’s a great learning and performance experience for the students and their directors.
This year we will have 14 area schools coming to our campus to perform at Festival. The MPA will host a snack stand for the students to purchase snacks and drinks.

We have the airline tickets, the hotel reservations, the rental vans, and will soon have the World Class finals tickets. The cost for the trip will be $1,300 per person. It will be an amazing experience for your student!
Payment plans can be arranged but please let Mr. Stone know what your plan will be.

If you’re not sure if you have paid, please contact our Accounts Receivable Treasurer, Jason Northrop.
Chaperones are needed. Please contact Yvonne Lim if you are available.
