Live Festival Information:
• You must register and complete payment by 11:59 pm on the date of your deadline.
• A $25 per day late fee will be automatically applied for any late registrations. Late registrations will be permitted for 2 or 3 days depending on your festival deadline.
• Please be aware that putting "To be Decided" or "To be Announced" will result in disqualification.
• Correction fee charges of $25 per change will be applied so please make sure to fully proofread your registration before submitting it. Correction fees would be applied for things like neglecting to put the full title of your piece, for not including the movements being played (if applicable), for not putting the name of the musical that a selection comes from, etc.
• Changes after your registration date can be made by contacting OMFA at mail@omfa.ca. There will be a $25 charge per change. An e-transfer must be received before any change will be made.
• You must list your Collaborative Pianist (accompanist) in your registration. You have until May 12th to submit this information. It is your responsibility to make sure that this information is in your account. The Festival Office will not send out reminders.
• All scheduling is done around Collaborative Pianists, therefore failure to list them could result in their not being able to play for you.
• Collaborate Pianists might wish to register for an account in the system to ensure that they receive the schedules of the people they are playing for.
• Accompaniment can be by piano only for the live festival with the exception of the Popular Voice and Popular Self-Accompanied classes (please refer to the syllabi for specific rules).
• The Collaborative Pianists (accompanists) listed on our website have confirmed that they are willing to play for you at the live provincial festival if required, however it is up to the competitor to contact them directly and pay for this arrangement and to set up a mutually convenient rehearsal time.
