Music Teachers and Parents

Welcome to another year of The Sherwood Park Music Festival. We are looking forward to another successful Festival. We thank you for your hard work and dedication in helping the participants achieve their high levels of performance.

The 2009 Festival was very successful with over 700 participants. Our students participated at the Provincial level in 20 different classes and from their performances, five second place finishes were achieved. Congratulations to both teachers and students on a job well done!

Important 2010 Festival Information

There are several changes to this year's registration process.

1 We have worked extensively with a computer programming company to bring you on-line registration. This on-line registration service will be available in the very near future - please continue to monitor our web-site. The entry forms and payments will be able to be completed through our web-site; however, you can still register by mail, if necessary.
2 The Sherwood Park Music Festival Manual is now available on our web-site. It contains the Rules and Regulations governing our local Festival. These local Rules and Regulations are in addition to the Rules and Regulations laid out in the AMFA syllabus. We are hopeful that this document will answer many of your questions before registering students for our Festival. There are quite a number of changes so please read documents carefully.
3 When you visit our web-site, you will encounter a licensing agreement pop-up box. By clicking this box, you are accepting the terms of this licensing agreement and are acknowledging that you have read both the Sherwood Park Music Festival Manual and the Rules and Regulations of the AMFA Syllabus and you are agreeing to the terms laid out in both documents.
