District Festival is an annual event of back-to-back recitals running concurrently in several locales at Capital University.  Each recital features students of various levels from different teachers.  Students receive written comments from a qualified outside adjudicator and a certificate of participation.  This is a wonderful non-competitive performance opportunity for students of piano, strings, woodwinds and voice.  The recitals are free and open to the public.  Please encourage your family and friends to attend.

 NEW for 2010:  All correspondence will be conducted via email.  You will not receive a packet of information as in years past.  You will receive an email with attachments to be printed by the teacher and handed out to students.  You must have a valid email on your registration cards.  It is preferred that registration cards are emailed, but you may also submit them by regular mail.
