Bronze and Silver Medal In these Medal classes, the ballet and character items must be those danced in the qualifying classes. Entry for the Gold Medal has changed (please see the relevant page for entry requirements).
Gold Medal A prize of £100 will be awarded to the successful dancer who wins the Gold Medal with a mark of 90.
Age Limits Groups classes 1258, 1262, 1266 - up to 2 competitors aged below 13 years may dance in these classes. These additional competitors will be excluded from dancing in classes 1242, 1246, 1250, and 1254. In the Medal classes, performers will not be allowed to dance if they are under the minimum age.
Props No furniture or properties are allowed, except those that can be carried and quickly set in place by performers or helpers. Construction of scenery or props on the side of the stage is prohibited. No real flowers or leaves will be allowed or confetti, or talcum powder or similar, unless by prior agreement with the Dancing Section Secretary. Disregard for this rule may result in the disqualification of the item.
Timing Entries in all classes which exceed the time limit will be penalised. Times will be checked from the first note or word of the accompaniment, or - if it should occur first - the first movement of the dancer, and until the dancer's last movement at the completion of the dance.
Classical Classes In group dancing, Tap and Modern are not acceptable.
Re-dance No re-dance is allowed at 10 years or over. At under 10 years, when a re-dance is requested, this will be allowed only at the discretion of the adjudicator.
Singing No singing is allowed except in Song and Dance and Cabaret classes.
Miming Miming to words is allowed but no lip synchronisation.
Performers Performers of ten years and over may enter both Lyrical and Modern classes.
Changes If a performer must change classes, 48 hours notice must be given to the Dancing Secretary in writing.
Chaperones All chaperones must be over 18 years of age and must wear their badges at all times. Failure to wear a badge may result in the chaperone not being allowed back stage.
Suitability For Own Choice pieces, suitability must be considered with regard to age group. "Adult" or offensive material is not acceptable and adjudicators will take this into account when marking. They also have authority to stop any performance at their discretion. This would lead to automatic disqualification.
Regulations Please read the general regulation No 15 very carefully if you are entering the Song and Dance classes.

You must complete the name of your dancing school in the place indicated on your Entry Form. No entry will be accepted without this information.
Please read the General Regulations in association with the rules above.

Dress/Costume

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).

Use of copies

Singers are expected to memorise their songs including Bach and Oratorio. Copies may only be used in Class 2284 (Veterans age 70 and over).

Set Songs and Own Choice pieces

Set songs must be sung in the edition shown in the Syllabus. Anyone unable to obtain music for the set songs should contact the General Secretary.
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.

Accompaniments

All singing classes to be accompanied by the piano unless otherwise stated. Please refer to the regulations regarding accompanists.

Silver Medal eligibility

A winner of a Bronze Medal may enter for the Silver Medal in subsequent years, even if under 15 years old.

Non-transferable entries and substitutes

Teachers please note: Solo entries are not transferable, although substitutes are permitted in duet, trio and ensemble classes

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

In case of difficulty obtaining set pieces, please contact the General Secretary.

Provisional Dates

The provisional dates for Singing Classes are: 8th (Popular Music Vocal classes); 8th (Junior Singing and John Lockey heats); 9th (Choirs, Brownies and Guides); 14th, 15th, 16th (Show Song Classes, Intermediate classes); Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th (Senior Singing) and Thursday 22nd (June Elgar Final and Gold Medal). 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 2012.

Age Limits

Please note: Age limits have changed in several classes this year, opening up a wider range of classes to enter. Please check carefully to ensure the appropriate class is entered.

Duologues and group dramatic activity are not covered by this agreement and copyright for these items should be sought by performers at the time of entry.

*Dramatic Items must be announced with title and author at the time of performance to qualify for copyright indemnity, and the performer must not change the words or gender of the character.
