The Florida Vocal Association is a component organization of the Florida Music Educators Association. Its primary purpose is to promote and develop interest in choral and general music in Florida Secondary Schools.
The major events sponsored by FVA are the Pre-School or Summer Convention in July, the All-State Clinic/Conference in January, and the District and State Music Performance Assessments (MPA) in the spring. These events provide students and their directors with excellent opportunities for personal and professional musical growth.
The pre-registration form for FVA's Summer / Pre-School Convention is now available. Be advised that Head's Choral Panorama (July 31 - Aug 1, 2008) and FVA's Pre-School Convention (Aug 1 - Aug 2, 2008) are held consecutively at the same location, but they require separate registration forms.
Directors must report to the on-site FVA office at least 30 minutes before their first entry is due in warm-up (choirs) or to perform (solos & ensembles). At that time, directors must turn in the required paperwork.
In addition to the schedules and other information provided below, participating directors should read the April 14 update letter as it contains important information.
Please note that we have room at all three sites for observers. Directors are encouraged to attend!
Basic information and the application for State MPA are now both available. This year's event will be held in north, central, and southern sites between April 21-26.
IMPORTANT: If you are registering MPA entries, please make sure you follow your district chairman's directions on which system you should be using: FVA (old) or FSMA (new). They are not the same!
For assistance with online registration, please utilize our online help guides located on the new help page. For your convenience, here are direct links:
