The National Federation of Music Clubs considers the health and well-being of our members and staff is priority. We are deeply aware how this is impacting our members and students. We understand the concern and uncertainty you may have regarding our programs. We are working to make sure that all programs are being fulfilled as promised. Below we have outlined procedures to help you understand how our programs are being handled during this pandemic.
FESTIVALS:
Only State or Regional Festival Chairs may contact the National Chair concerning NFMC revised Festival procedures dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
2019 – 2020 SPRING FESTIVALS
Festival centers are hereby given an extension until August 31, 2020 to conduct Festival auditions and file the JR 3-3 (Festival Summary Report). Festival auditions may be conducted in the tradition manner (if in compliance with CDC guidelines regarding mass/group gatherings) OR conducted electronically using methods such as FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, YouTube, etc., OR through any combination of the above (this seems to be the option most states/areas are taking).
The Regional Festival Chair reporting deadline will be extended to Sept. 30, 2020.

Continue the NFMC Response to Covid-19 from September 1, 2020 until May 15, 2021.
