Solo and ensemble festivals are held in northern Virginia during the month of April.  These music festivals provide band and orchestra students the opportunity to perform a solo and/or an ensemble and have their performance critiqued by an adjudicator.  This website addresses three districts:

  • District 10 includes eastern Fairfax County and Alexandria.
  • District 11 includes southern Fairfax County.
  • District 12 includes northern Fairfax County and Arlington.

Schools can participate in any district if they have a scheduling conflict that precludes their participation in their home district.  Therefore, it is necessary that you check with your school's music director each year in order to determine which district applies to you.

The locations and dates of the Spring 2010 festivals are as follows:

The strings festivals are on a Friday evening and the band festivals are during the day on a Saturday.  Maps to the festival locations are available by clicking on the school names above.

  Kilgore Computing Services (KCS) can now provide you with an inexpensive website (like this one) that is appropriate for festivals of any size.  You can either use volunteers to manage the website or have your website managed by KCS.  Try it out for FREE today.
