IN FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024 WE HAD 6,738 JUNIOR ENTRIES, 7 GROUP ENTRIES, 21 ADULT ENTRIES, AND 400 TEACHERS PARTICIPATING. THE PIECES PERFORMED ARE SELECTED FROM A NATIONAL BULLETIN OF SELECTIONS BY ONLY AMERICAN COMPOSERS. (THE MISSION OF THE FEDERATION IS TO PROMOTE AMERICAN MUSIC). THEIR SECOND PIECE IS ANOTHER PIECE OF EQUAL DIFFICULTY. STUDENTS RECEIVE A WRITTEN EVALUATION OF THEIR AUDITION AND A RATING. IF THEY RECEIVE THE BEST RATING (SUPERIOR) THEY ARE ELIGIBLE TO ENTER OUR COMPETITIVE EVENT: JUNIOR CONVENTION. THE JUNIOR CONVENTION WAS HELD LIVE AT USF, TAMPA. 36864 31403 FEDERATION CUP (FORMERLY CALLED FESTIVAL CUP) IS A REWARD SYSTEM TO MOTIVATE STUDENTS TO CONTINUE WITH THEIR MUSICAL EDUCATION. POINTS ARE EARNED AT THE ANNUAL AREA FESTIVAL FOR EACH RATING. FESTIVAL CUPS ARE EARNED WHEN ACCUMULATING 15; 30; 45; 60; 75 AND 90 POINTS. THE MOST POINTS A STUDENT CAN RECEIVE AT THE EARLY LEVELS FOR EACH EVENT IS FIVE POINTS. CONSEQUENTLY, IT TAKES THE STUDENTS AT LEAST 3, 6, AND 9 YEARS RESPECTIVELY TO RECEIVE THE EARLY CUPS. AS THEY BECOME MORE ADVANCED THEY CAN COMBINE JR III AND SENIOR CONCERTO POINTS WITH SOLO POINTS ALLOWING FOR THE BIGGER CUPS. WE HAVE FOUND THAT STUDENTS WHO MAY NEED ONE OR TWO POINTS FOR THE NEXT LARGER CUP WILL CONTINUE LESSONS TO EARN THE NEXT CUP. CONSEQUENTLY, THEY MAKE IT OVER A SLUMP AND BECOME REJUVENATED AGAIN. FOR LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE ORDERED THE FOLLOWING CUPS FOR FLORIDA: 805-15 POINT CUPS; 261-30 POINT CUPS; 84-45 POINT CUPS; 28-60 POINT CUPS 4-75 POINT CUPS AND 2-90 POINT CUPS. SILVER CUPS FOR ADULTS: 1-15 POINT CUPS. TOTAL 1,185 FEDERATION CUPS AWARDED. 14798 8000 2826 FFMC COLLEGIATE VOCAL AWARDS COMPETITION ORIGINATED IN DECEMBER, 1951 TO ENCOURAGE PROMISING YOUNG FLORIDA FEMALE VOCAL STUDENTS.
