2026 Syllabus - Brass
Classes are grouped by levels for those performing classical pieces from the current RCM or CC syllabi.
Memorization is NOT required, but is highly recommended.
Participants must provide the adjudicator with an original copy of the music. Failure to do so will result in a 'for adjudication only' performance.
SOLO SELECTIONS
Music is own choice, but only current RCM or CC syllabus pieces can be entered, except in 'NEfP' classes.
Participants must refer carefully to either the RCM or CC syllabus to determine how many and which movements of a selection are required (i.e. one mvt., two mvts., or complete).
ACCOMPANIMENT
In all Instrumental solo classes where accompaniment is given, the Festival Piece MUST be performed with accompaniment. Unless a piece is specifically written to be unaccompanied it must have accompaniment.
Accompaniment can be by piano only.
For live events, a sound system is NOT provided for recorded accompaniment and its use is discouraged.
For virtual events, piano accompaniment can include: Live, pre-recorded, back-tracks, etc.
CONCERT GROUP CLASSES
Perform two contrasting pieces in your class.
Concert Group classes are NOT eligible for Provincial nomination as they only receive one (1) mark for two (2) pieces. However, one of your pieces may be used as your second piece at Provincials, if it meets the Provincial requirements.
SCHOOL SOLO
These classes are for students not currently studying at RCM or CC levels.
School solo classes are eligible for Festival Awards, but are NOT eligible for Provincial nomination.
To be eligible for Provincial nomination, enter the appropriate 'Level' class, and perform a piece from the current RCM or CC syllabi for that level.
AWARDS
Enter a minimum of two (2) classes in this discipline to be eligible for a Festival Award.
PROVINCIALS
Grade Levels 1 & up are eligible for recommendation to the OMFA Provincials.
While only ONE qualifying piece will be entered as the adjudicator's recommendation and must be performed at Provincials, participants MUST PERFORM TWO PIECES MATCHING THIS DISCIPLINE'S CRITERIA at Provincials.
Check Provincial rules at www.omfa.ca the Ontario Music Festival Association's website.
NEfP: Indicates classes that are NOT eligible for Provincial recommendation.
