Each year Arcadia Academy of Music celebrates its Annual MusicFest Competition in June. The purpose of MusicFest is to give students an opportunity to experience the joy of performing in front of their peers, friends, and parents. It is not only an occasion to showcase their hard work and talent but also a true testimony and reflection of good teaching, support, and constant encouragement. It is important to remember that although this event is a competition, our main goal is to make the day enjoyable and memorable for our students and their parents. As always, we focus on using this event to continue to build their self-esteem and confidence.
2010 MUSICFEST DATES
The 2010 MusicFest competitions are held on Friday, June 11, 2010 from 4:00-9:00PM, Saturday, June 12, 2010 from 9:00AM-5:00 PM and Saturday, June 19 from 9:00PM-1:00PM at the Cornerstone Community Church, at 180 Nashville Rd., Kleinburg, ON.

Awards will be given to students who place 1st, 2nd and 3rd and to all participants, after each session is completed.
