~ Registration ~

Where is the registration table?
It is located in the Commons area on the first floor behind the elevator.

Do I need to register?
Yes, but you may play your solo or ensemble before you wait in the registration line. You must register later to get your festival program and your wrist band for admission to the concerts.

Who needs wrist bands?
Parents may attend all the events with their child at no charge; however, they must visit the registration table to receive wristbands.
All adults, including accompanists, flute teachers, flute choir concert performers and TFS members, must pay the auditor fee and will be issued wrist bands.
Masterclass performers and Myrna Brown Semi-finalists are already registered and should pick up their wrist bands.
Clinicians and accompanists for guest artists will be issued name tags instead of wrist bands.

I didn’t pre-register; can I play for a clinician?
A representative in the Festival Office will register you, try to fit you into the schedule and collect your fees. You will not be eligible for the awards.

If I did not pre-register, can I participate in the events?
You can register at the festival and you will have access to the exhibits and all of the events that do not require advance registration.

If I only want to participate in the flute choir, do I need to register to attend the festival?
Yes. You must register as an auditor.

If I register as an auditor, does my family have to pay an auditor fee?
No. Your family members do not have to pay the auditor fee to accompany you to the festival but they must get a wrist band to enter any of the events.

Do I need to be a TFS member to register?
No. However, you will still need to pay the auditor fee to participate in the festival. You may also join the TFS at this time.

If I encounter a problem that I cannot solve, what do I do?
Bring the issue to the Festival Office.

Can a performer use his/her recording device instead of using a cassette?

If someone tells me they have a schedule conflict with their performance, what do I tell them to do?
