2024 Festival Evaluation

As usual, like all good self-evaluating organisations, we ask choir teachers to complete a quick evaluation of the 2024 Music Festival.

Although there is space for any comments, it is possible to complete it in a few seconds by selecting options!

Please complete the form below ASAP as we will be following up so that we have 100% return from all schools. The Festival Executive meets in two weeks to consider the evaluation and to commence the 2025 Festival organisation…so please help us by completing this last task for 2024!

Many thanks for your help! …and don’t forget to click “Submit evaluation” when you’ve got to the end!
