Educating for eternity
General announcements for participants
The cost per participant for the 2025 Music festival is $30.
As you arrive on campus on Thursday, please go directly to the HVA church to check in and receive your name tags/schedule and T-shirts. Handbells, please unload your equipment (bells, tables) near the ground entrance to the right of the church building.
Questions about dormitory accommodations or late registration? You may contact Ana Nino at: anino@highlandviewacademy.com
Remember to keep our schedule handy: www.hvamusic.org/schedule
About sheet music: Every participating group is responsible for bringing their own sheet music (folders, binders, etc). It is important to have those folders with the school's name on it, because it is likely someone will leave behind music once the festival is over.
Instruments and stands: Every band participant must bring their own instrument (except for timpani and bass drum) and your music stand. Teachers, you may calculate bringing one music stand per two students. Also, please mark your stands with your school name. You may add a tape or paint with the school name if it does not have any.
This also applies to handbells. Every school must bring
their own set of bells, tables, mallets, etc.
HVA is a cell phone free campus. We highly recommend our visitors not to use cell phones while inside of any campus buildings, including the cafeteria and church.
