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 an annual planning meeting.  In addition, each year all music directors and conductors are given the opportunity to complete a festival evaluation, which is used to improve identified areas for future festivals.   The changes to the staging of the festival each year is a result of deliberations from those meetings, and information and feedback gained from the evaluation responses received.

On March 4 2011, an Advisory Committee meeting was held at Villanova College (See Meeting Minutes) and prior to the meeting all Queensland Catholic schools and colleges were sent an agenda and a request to attend the meeting or send in their suggestions for discussion at the meeting.

As we do every year, we took volunteers teachers from participating schools and colleges for the two QCMF Advisory Committees, with the aim to advise the QCMF Coordinator when necessary. The role of these committees is to advise on technical questions raised by music directors of participating ensembles.
