DID YOU KNOW that we have a Frequently Asked Questions page on our website? Click here to go there and maybe get your answers right away.

Parents/Teachers/Students - you can access the student registrations that are linked to your profile through MusicFestivalSuite. This means that you can go in and proofread the entries to ensure that the student is in the correct class(es) and that the music is appropriate for the class. Once it goes "live" you'll even be able to check the schedule - that should be available around the end of February. Contact festivalcorrections@gmail.com to inform Christopher if you find any issues or have questions.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

ATTENTION RETIRED VOICE TEACHERS

OR CLASSICAL VOICE ENTHUSIASTS!

We need a Classical Voice Discipline Coordinator for our 2023 Festival to make sure that everything flows smoothly. If you are interested in helping young people in their musical journey, this may be the opportunity for you. Contact kim@okmf.ca for more information.

We can’t hold a live Festival without Volunteers. 

One of the impacts of the pandemic is that many of our volunteers have retired. We need dozens of new and energetic volunteers to work in our venues at the door and/or with the adjudicators – days and evenings, weekdays and weekends. Please contact kim@okmf.ca if this interests you. You can always check out this page on our website for more information.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMUNITY GROUPS

Your group can support an entire discipline by providing the Front of House and Adjudicator Assistant volunteers for each block of time. You can use this time to promote your group with flyers/brochures and your volunteers can answer any questions people might have.

Do consider supporting your Festival in this truly amazing way where you get to participate right in the thick of things.
