Purpose
To assist schools and/or regional offices in the management of the regional events for the Creative Generation Fanfare programs, including festivals and finals, and school group travel to Brisbane for the state final performances.
Duration of program
Ongoing
Fanfare is an annual state-schools music festival which promotes and celebrates ensemble music, alternating each year between a choral and instrumental program.
Eligibility
Queensland state schools and/or regional offices with identified and approved Fanfare regional coordinators.
Queensland state schools who are selected as Fanfare state finalists.
Allocation of funds
Funding may be available to support the running of regional festivals and finals to cover some costs towards:
- venue and music equipment hire
- transportation of instruments (e.g. truck hire)
- program associated administration cost
- printing of program related collateral, forms and documents
- teacher replacement
- adjudicator associated costs
- photocopying of program and performance schedules
- catering for the adjudicator.
Payment will be made to the regional coordinator's base school. The base school principal is required to sign the funding application to approve the use of the school's account to pay for regional festival and final expenses once the allocated budget is transferred to the school.
Travel and associated expenses for schools to attend their relevant regional festival and final must be covered by the school.
A travel subsidy will be available to the state finalist schools outside the south east corner to attend the state final in Brisbane. This payment will be made directly to the state finalist schools.
