The PFMC Central Competition took place on April 13, 2024 at Pine Street United Methodist Church in Williamsport, PA. This was our 2nd year with 4 participants in 2 categories, sent by 2 teachers in the Central Region. Two additional students will go on to the State competition uncontested in their category.
Once the students attended their local Junior Federated Festivals in March and received a Superior rating, they were eligible to enter the Regional Competition for awards and prize money. They performed their required festival composition for the two judges: Dianne Scott and Brett Hosterman, both adjunct professors at Susquehanna University, as well as professional musicians and teachers/performers.
The Central winners will have the opportunity to face-off with the winners of PFMC West and East at Trachte Music Center on the campus of Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA on April 27, 2024, for Piano Solo Level Grand Champion, prizes, and other awards. Congratulations to all!
