Junior and Senior Club Registrations
♫ Federation Bulletin
NFMC requires that every teacher have their own bulletin and become familiar with the rules. Please order your bulletin at https://www.nfmc-music.org/order-2020-2024-federation-festivals-bulletin/.
♫ Peachtree City/Newnan Senior Club Dues - Online Registration
Please notify Annette Day if you intend to participate in Federation 2024 by August 31, 2023. She needs to submit our Peachtree City Senior Club Dues to the GFMC by September 1st, so it is imperative to respond in a timely manner. No payments or forms will need to be submitted by this date.
The deadline for Senior Club Dues is October 15, 2023. Senior Club Dues are $25 per teacher. Late payments will incur a $5 late fee. There is a $1 processing fee per teacher.
Before filling out the Senior Club Dues Form below, please have the following information ready: your projected number of students, any non-piano events that will require appropriate judges, Theory Test Levels, and the same roster of students you submit to GFMC when registering your Junior Club. Please do not neglect to provide any of these items.
Discounted Rate for institutions with 3+ teachers: You may submit Senior Club dues of $18 per teacher. Each teacher must still create their own Junior Club. Please keep in mind that no Junior Clubs are allowed to have multiple teachers unless you are also your own Senior Club. The GFMC website provides this provision only for Junior Clubs who are also their own Senior Club, though it is not clearly explained on the website. Senior Clubs are responsible for holding their own Festival.
Fill out the Senior Club Dues Form below and return to this page to submit payment.
