CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!
If you were a participant in our 2008 FFMC Junior Convention Auditions, then you were a superior winner at your district festival. After hearing the high quality of musicianship in the auditions, you will understand why the judges were so impressed and had difficulty deciding on the winner of each category.The 2008 FFMC Junior Convention audition results (PDF: 65k) are now available. For Junior Composer's Contest, Essay Contest, and FFMC Junior Convention Scholarship Awards, please go to the respective link. If any trophies or ribbons were not claimed at the Awards Ceremonies, please notify FFMC officers from your district so they can bring your awards back from our Senior Convention (May 29-31). If you want your trophy or ribbon mailed, please make that request to Michael Edwards with $10.00 to cover postage and handling.
