School choir registration  
Application for a school choir to participate in the Music Festival is made by a school each year. By applying and paying the subscription fee, a school becomes a member of the Christchurch Schools' Music Festival Association Inc. and this entitles the school choir to participate in the Festival. To assist with the streamlining of the organisation involved in the staging of such a large event, ALL SCHOOLS MUST REGISTER ONLINE.
Registration for school choirs is now closed!
The person applying for registration on behalf of a school, or a group of schools, needs to be able to make the following commitments on behalf of the school(s):
 
  • That the school accepts and agrees with the objectives of the Festival.
  • That the school agrees to teach the songs for the Festival to the school choir.
  • That copyright has been granted for the pupils' official songbook and the accompanist's music and that the school will not reproduce further copies.
  • That the school has an APRA Licence for Public Performance and Photocopying of print music and an APRA MUSIC RECORDING Licence - Audio/Video What are these licences and how do we get them?
  • That a representative of the school(s) will attend the Teachers' Demonstration Meeting and will attend for the whole of the meeting
  • That the school(s) will support the Festival Executive by providing qualified staff to exercise high-quality supervision of pupils at rehearsals and the performances, and will ensure that the standard of behaviour required by the Festival Executive is maintained by all of the school's pupils who are involved.
