Dear Music Department Chair,
Earlier this spring I sent you information about the National Federation
of Music Clubs Student Auditions. As mentioned in that letter, some of
the Repertoire Requirements were being revised. Enclosed you will find
two copies of the up-to-date Repertoire Requirements. I have included my
name, address, e/mail address and FAX number on the Repertoire sections
so that the teacher and/or student may contact me easily. PLEASE KEEP A
COPY ON FILE IN YOUR OFFICE AND DISTRIBUTE THE OTHERS TO THE APPROPRIATE
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. YOU MAY MAKE COPIES OF ANY OF THE ENCLOSED MATERIALS.
The Monetary Award to each National Winner is $1,500. There are also
a number of substantial supplemental awards shown on the enclosed sheet.
The Kentucky Federation of Music Clubs awards a $200 award to each State
Winner. Please make copies of the Student Auditions Biennial Awards sheet
and post them so your students will know and ask about this opportunity.
The deadline for the applications to reach the State Chairman is November
1, 2000 because the applications must then be forwarded to the National
Chairman to reach her by November 15, 2000. There is an entry fee of $30.00
which must accompany the Application Form.
The student must be a member of the National Federation of Music Clubs
and Kentucky Federation of Music Clubs to enter the Student Auditions.
The student may apply'dn the enclosed Student Auditions Application Form

Federation of Music Clubs and Kentucky Federation of Music Clubs (Enclosed
