2011 Syllabus
The Summer term is coming to its close and pupils and teachers alike are looking forward to six weeks away from school and hopefully lots of sunshine and a carefree holiday. The Hastings Musical Festival is very busy assembling what is possibly the most exciting syllabus for many years.
There are to be many new and very different classes next year. 
In the Dancing section we have the introduction of hip-hop/street dancing. The classes will be held in the Sussex Hall which has the advantage of a fully sprung floor which is essential for the genre of dance. There will be a specialist adjudicator and a completely separate set of rules – please be sure to read them carefully.
In the Instrumental section the Rock classes are being expanded, meaning that the PA system will be in situ for 2 days, with new classes in Contemporary Electric Guitar and Drum Kits. Also in this section the Festival is introducing a Primary School Day aimed at schools who participate in the Wide Opportunities Scheme.
In the Speech and Drama Section the plays take on an entirely new look. Being performed in the intimate setting of the Sussex Hall the new play classes will be performed in the modern studio style as offered in most Drama Schools. Cash prizes are introduced to celebrate this exciting project and to encourage entries.
