What to Expect

Upon arriving, groups will need to check in at the festival registration table to receive their information and participant bands.  Groups will be directed to a location where they can store their instrument cases.  We will be utilizing the bowling area, the cabanas, and the restaurant for case storage.  Please stack cases as neatly and as compact as possible.  Participants may then enjoy the attractions until it is time for their performance.  

15 minutes before your performance time, you may move to the unpacking area to get students ready.  String instruments may also be tuned at this time.  It will likely be a loud environment so clip-on tuners may be helpful.  

At your performance time, you will move to your performance area.  In Lexington, large instrumental groups will perform in Jack’s Sandbar Restaurant.  Choirs may perform in the main restaurant area or the lounge.  Groups smaller than 25 students may perform in the boardroom area.  However, it may be necessary to move some groups to an alternate nearby location to perform before arriving to Malibu Jacks due to space constraints. 

You will have 10 minutes to get students in their seats and warm-up.  During the warm-up time, our photographer will be capturing candid shots of your group which you will be given digitally following the event.  A group photo will be taken right before the performance.  

At this point, your 10-minute performance time begins.  After you perform, if you opted to have a judge’s review, one of our judges will talk with your group about their performance in the remaining time. We hope to lengthen the time with the clinicians if at all possible. 

At the conclusion of your time, you will have 5 minutes to exit the performance area.  After your performance, you may pack up student instruments.  Judges ratings and trophies will be distributed to your group at this time.   After instrument cases are put away, your group may then continue to enjoy the venue attractions.  

Lunch will be scheduled in shifts at the cabanas.  You will be given your lunch schedule prior to the festival date.  

we are so excited to have you join us for the Acclaim Music Festival!
