The Choral Fanfare 2027 regional festival and finals will be held throughout May and June at various performance venues around the state.
Regional festivals
Once nominations have closed, all schools will receive further details regarding their regional festival via an email from their Fanfare regional coordinator to the nominating teacher. Each nominated choir will be allocated a session time for their performance at their respective regional festival. It is the responsibility of the nominating teacher to pass these details onto their choir/s, conductors and any relevant staff from their school.
Each choir's performance will be professionally adjudicated. The regional festival adjudicators will:
- provide positive and constructive feedback to the students and the conductor
- award each participating choir with a certificate (platinum, gold, silver or bronze) at the end of their performance
- determine how many and which eligible choirs will perform in the regional final.
Participation fees apply to all schools participating in Choral Fanfare. Travel and associated expenses for schools to attend the regional events must be covered by the school.
Regional finals
The regional finalists are the select group of eligible choirs who gave the most outstanding performances across the regional festivals. These choirs will be invited to perform at their respective regional final in late May/June 2027.
All regional finalists will receive a second written adjudication and a framed regional finalist certificate. At each regional final, the adjudicators will award the most outstanding regional performance award/s for each region. It is then the role of the regional final adjudicators to determine which choirs from the group of most outstanding regional award winners will progress to the state final.
