What Is Included In Your Music Festival

When you participate in a Rhythms Music Festival you will be exposed to some of the finest adjudicators possible who have been carefully selected to meet your group’s needs. All of the Rhythms Music Festival Adjudicators agree with our educational concept and will work with your group to motivate and educate them. Most of the time the adjudicators will just reinforce exactly what you have already been teaching the students throughout the year and, hearing it from the adjudicator it will further serve to strengthen your teachings.

  • The finest quality of educational adjudications
  • One hour warm-up time prior to event
  • One full hour on stage per performing group
  • Educational clinics & workshops on stage
  • Rated or non-rated adjudications
  • A extensive list of “on stage” instruments including a concert base drum, 4 tympani, a tuned piano, music stands & chairs, chimes, xylophone, a trap set, a microphone & a conductor’s music stand
  • Standard choral risers
  • Judges audio tapes & comment sheets
  • One elegant Rhythms International Music Festivals Performance Plaque with the performing group inscribed on it (rating left to your discretion)
  • A flag of the destination in which you performed and traveled
  • A letter from the Mayor of the destination in which you performed and traveled thanking your group for your visit

Stay-At-Home Music Festivals

Discover Your Own Hometown!

One of the secrets to the success of Rhythms is our flexibility and capability of facing any situation our clients present us with. Needless to say the economy is taking its toll on everyone and we understand what people are going through.

We know that going on a trip to a festival is a major attraction to many students to join or even remain in the music program. It is also their reward for a year or years of hard work (the proverbial Carrot). If you feel you are in a position where you need to do something for your students but fear the economy may be a major issue then this may be the solution. We have already been doing this for many years but decided to actually label it and offer it to all in a more formal format.

Some groups only do a trip every other year but in order to motivate their students, decided to take them on a shorter trip, hence the “Festival to Nowhere”! Basically you take your group to a festival right in your hometown. This shortens the duration of the trip, eliminates high transportation costs but still gives the students the feeling of participating in an event with other groups and get the most important part of a festival which is the music education and the awards banquet dinner. You may opt to overnight for one night at the hotel or just come in for the day.

  • Option 1:

    2-Day & 1-Night with Overnight at Hotel and Breakfast Included

    Sunday: Group arrives at school in the morning. They meet their Rhythms Tour Manager and board bus. Depart for the festival venue. Performance, adjudication and masterclass for the ensembles. An activity or attraction will be included either in the morning or afternoon depending on the final adjudication schedule. Check-in to your hotel. Free time to enjoy the hotel amenities. 7:30PM Attend the Rhythms International Awards Dinner and Dance with live entertainment. Overnight at the hotel.

    Monday: Breakfast is served in the hotel. Free time to enjoy the hotel amenities. Possible morning activity. Either transfer back to the school or parents pick them up at the hotel.

  • Option 2:

    Day Trip Only, No Hotel

    Sunday: Group arrives at school in the morning. They meet their Rhythms Tour Manager and board bus. Depart for the festival venue. Performance, adjudication and masterclass for the ensembles. An activity or attraction will be included either in the morning or afternoon depending on the final adjudication schedule. Check-in to your hotel. Free time to enjoy the hotel amenities. 7:30PM Attend the Rhythms International Awards Dinner and Dance with live entertainment. Bus returns them to school after the banquet or parents pick them up at Banquet.

    We may tailor-make any package to meet your groups needs and budget. If we do not have a festival in your hometown we can arrange one within hours. Our objective is to make sure that you have the necessary tools at your disposition to maintain the success of your music program. All you need do is contact us to see exactly what COOPERATION is all about.

Customize Your Music Festival

For years, we have been sitting trying to figure out what are the best festival dates and destinations. We check out the holidays, exam periods, graduations etc… trying to find the perfect time that will meet your needs. We verify which cities or spots are “hot” and would please you.

We are fairly flexible in what and when we offer our festivals so we decided to start early this time and get your feedback. If the dates and destinations on our Calendar do not meet your needs, just fill in the form below and return it to us via fax or e-mail telling us what “YOU” want.

You may also call us to tell us what you want. We are always readily available for you. Trust us, it will be our pleasure to give you what you want! Offering a festival in Montreal or Burlington is the same as any where else but a lot easier if that is where you want to be in the first place! Please use the form below to tell us what you have in mind.
