The Sacred Music Florida Competition is sponsored by and made possible by the FPEA (Florida Parent Educator Association) . You will have access to countless educational resources as a member. The Sacred Music Florida Competition is a part of their annual convention which is the largest homeschool convention in the world for over 30 years. I hope you will consider registering for this convention as well and discover 500+ educational resource vendors, meet authors, and attend classes to learn about concepts and skills that can help you get the most out of your child(ren)’s education. Even if you do not homeschool, this conference is a vast wealth of information for you as a parent.
Sacred & classical repertoire as stated in the question above is best for growing your skills and developing proper technique. These skills can be used to perform any type of music with excellence.
Live accompaniment is preferred. If you must use pre-recorded accompaniment, you must bring your own speaker and equipment.
There will be no mic used for vocal auditions. The judges are interested in hearing your natural voice.
The awards ceremony begins at 4:30 and will be over around 5:30-5:45pm.
