All Festival areas will be required to use Vivace for Federation Festivals beginning in the fall of 2022. We have many people training and willing to help those areas who have not yet started, and we are all committed to help the remaining areas prepare to use Vivace. The initial effort is definitely worth it because of the time and effort saved by using Vivace. The registration process catches any teacher errors. Reports are accurate and completed with the click of a button. After Festival reporting is quick and easy once the ratings have been entered. Students transferring to a different teacher have the Festival history transferred with ease so that the new teacher knows exactly what the student has done with Festivals in previous years. These are just a few of the benefits!

In order to start the process, an application needs to be submitted by either the State or the Area.  We know there will a big push during the summer of 2022 with the areas still needing to be on boarded, so we commend that you submit your application as soon as possible. For everyone’s benefit, we will manage the number of new areas who are admitted at any given time so that the support team will be able to provide help in a timely manner.
