Welcome
to the Gold Cup Festival.
The Gold Cup Festival is the only national festival in America developed
to encourage American teachers to teach the music of American composers. The required pieces listed in the Gold Cup
Bulletin are by American composers while the choice piece must be by another
composer (American or non-American) in Pre-Primary I – IV and cannot be in the
bulletin. In Elementary I – Musically
Advanced the choice piece must be by a non-American composer. The Gulf Coast Music Association is proud to
be able to sponsor this annual festival in our area. A student’s points are never lost when the
family has to relocate to a different city or state. The students may start where they left off at
the former location. It is one of the
most positively oriented festivals anywhere in the U.S. bringing teachers,
students, and parents together working toward a common goal.
The date
for this year’s festival is Sat., Mar. 4, 2017 for solos, theory and ensembles.
All concertos will be performed on Sat., Mar. 11, 2017. The registrationdeadline is the January meeting. The
postmark deadline is Jan. 15, 2016.
Directions
on how to fill out the forms are included in the next several pages. If you need duplicate forms you must make the
copies. The rating(critique) sheet is
provided but you must make copies for your students using the colored paper as
required by the different events. Please
check your work carefully as a $1.00 fee will be due to Jennifer Key for each mistake
made on each form.
Details about
the assigned playing times and work assignments will be forthcoming when the
forms are turned in. Playing time requests will be honored
if at all possible, but are not guaranteed.
All participating teachers have a work assignment. Please make
a note on your registration form if you are unable to work during a certain time
and you will be assigned a different time.
Due to the size of this festival, details become
extremely important. When they are
ignored, it creates huge headaches and requires extra work for the chairman and
for our record keeper. If you have any
questions, please call. Don’t guess.
Rules
you must understand:
1. If you enter student(s) enters this festival,
the teacher must work on the Festival Day.
2. There are no refunds once registrations are
