The Large Ensemble Festival will run May 1-15, 2021. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the upcoming Festival classes will operate as Pre-recorded performances.
We have updated the General Rules and Syllabi to incorporate plans for sharing the Pre-recorded performances with other class participants, parents, guardians, teachers, and community members.
Pre-recorded class participants in competitive classes are eligible for consideration to MusicFest. See the VKMF General Rules and MusicFest Syllabus for eligibility criteria.

Late submissions and class entries without PDF/URL submissions will not be adjudicated.
Sheet music (PDF) and placeholder video link (http://) must be uploaded at the time of registration (see below for more information).
Adherence to copyright regulations is imperative.
Pre-recorded Classes
Pre-recorded ensembles will record themselves at their own locations and submit an unlisted YouTube video link (URL) of their performance. The General Rules provide details regarding the format, process, and protocols for these recordings. An Adjudicator will adjudicate the recorded performance remotely, but not in real time. Results will be available in late May.
