Hastings Musical Festival Syllabus
Singing
Please read these rules carefully - they may change from year to year. Any variation from
these rules may result in disqualification. Also see the General Regulations.
- Credit will be given for choice of repertoire, presentation, dress and deportment. No Jeans or Trainers please.
- No Costume allowed unless otherwise stated. Props are not allowed (note: a chair is not regarded as a prop).

- Set songs must be sung in the edition shown in the Syllabus.
- No set song for a junior class to be used as an own choice piece in a junior class. No set song for a senior class to be used as an own choice piece in a senior class.
- For "Own Choice" pieces, suitability must be considered with regard to age group. "Adult" or offensive material is not acceptable and the Adjudicators will be advised to take this into account when marking. They will also have authority to stop any performance at their discretion which would lead to disqualification.
- In Junior singing classes age under 18, set pieces or own choices may be sung in any key, and transpositions are allowed.
- All singing classes to be accompanied by the piano unless otherwise stated. Please refer to the regulations regarding accompanists.
- A winner of a Bronze Medal may enter for the Silver Medal in subsequent years, even if under 15 years old.
SOLO SINGING SELECTIONS
It is becoming increasingly difficult to buy songs as single copies, and for that reason it may be
necessary to buy a collection or cycle for the sake of one set song.We appreciate that this will be
more expensive but trust that these anthologies will be a valuable addition to a singer’s library.
All singing set pieces are available from:
Brittens Music, Grove Hill Road, Tunbridge Wells
Telephone: 01892 526659
Email: sales@brittensmusic.co.uk
The provisional dates for Singing Classes are: 3rd (Popular Music Vocal classes); 3rd (Junior singing and John Lockey heats); 4th (Choirs, Brownies and Guides); 9th,10th, and11th (Show Song Classes, Intermediate classes); 16th and 17th (Senior Singing). The timetable is kept flexible to adapt to the number of entries received. Where possible, planned dates for specific
classes are given in the Syllabus and shown in the margins but these may have to be changed.
Final timetable of classes will be available on the Festival website in January 2011.

Choirs
NEW: Age limits for Junior Choir classes (Classes 2348,2352,2356 and 2360) are as of the start of the academic year (Sept 1, 2010).
Choirs may be accompanied by piano, keyboard or pre-recorded backing track (may
contain any instruments but no vocals). Small percussion instruments are allowed where
appropriate. Please note that accurate numbers of choir size (and number of helpers) must be provided for ALL CHOIR CLASSES. Performers will have priority for seating and therefore,
depending on the number of entries and size of the choirs, audience space for these classes may be limited. Audience tickets for junior choir classes will be available through advance booking – details on availability will be on the Festival website early in 2011.
The provisional date for all choirs is 4th March.
