RECITAL INFORMATION

​

Our final branch recital of the year will also be a special tribute to the graduating seniors upon completion of music study through their high school years.  To be eligible for the senior award, your student does not have to have participated in CM, but the level of music performed should be equivalent to at least the level 7 of the CM syllabus repertoire requirements.  There is no recital fee for seniors but teachers need to fill out the regular recital application form which can be found below. Branch President, Brian Glenn, is handling trophies for seniors.

Therefore, teachers must inform Brian Glenn of the participating Senior students by April 20, 2025. The actual application for seniors (minus recital fee) must be mailed to Brian Glenn by the deadline of April 26, 2025. 

​

Music Achievement trophies, formerly worded "Event Participation" trophy, will be awarded to any students who has participated in 4 out of 7 branch events. TEACHERS, please make a note at the top of the recital application if your student(s) qualified for the trophy and also include the 4 dates that student has performed in. Student must have actually performed in each event. A no-show does not qualify. Teachers must inform Brian Glenn of the eligible students by April 20, 2025.
