Students need not have completed an exam to participate in the sections/awards. A copy of the music should be provided for the adjudicator on the day and entries must be received prior to the performance day.
Venue operators and TMTA volunteers will observe Covid Plans to promote the safety and wellness of all attendees.
Audience entry is $10 per adult (children are free) or $20 per group. Student entry fees are $5 student (Prelim-Grade2), and (Grade 3 and above) $10 student, to be paid to their teacher by the due date.
