ADVISORY COMMITTEE

In response to requests from school music directors and teachers to be given the opportunity to have greater input into the preparation and running of the festival, the QCMF Planning Group invited interested persons to attend a series of planning meetings in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and again in 2007.  

In 2006 and 2007 all music directors and conductors were given the opportunity to complete a festival evaluation which has been used to improve identified areas for future festivals.   The changes to the staging of the festival this year are again a result of deliberations from those meetings, and information and feedback gained from the evaluation responses received.

In 2008 it was decided not to have a meeting but to reach out to music teachers from all over the state by email, asking for any feedback and for nominations to sit on the Advisory Committees. 

Two QCMF Advisory Committees were created, made up of teachers from participating schools and colleges with the aim to advise the QCMF Planning Group and the Music Director of Villanova College when necessary. The role of these committees is to advise on technical questions raised by music directors of participating ensembles.  

Choral Advisory Committee (2008):  Peter Morris (Villanova College); Barb McGeever (Nudgee Junior College);  Margaret Flemming (St Thomas More’s College);  Ann Darcy, (St Frances College)
