History of the Fall Classic
For the past 40 years the Music Achiever's Conservatory's Fall Classic has been a huge success! Students get the recognition they so rightly earned and deserve.
They enjoy being able to pick any two solos to perform by memory for the judge each year.  Some like to do their Festival pieces, others like to do pop songs.  The joy of it all is, it can be any solo they want.  They finally have control over the choices.
All participants are rewarded with either a first, second, or third place trophy, or participation medal with their name engraved on it.
Now we invite you to participate in the Fall Classic MAC OPEN.

Who Can Enter?
All ages, all levels, and all skills.  Adults too!
Piano, Voice,, Brass, Strings, Woodwinds
Small divisions are decided by level of student's solos, not by their age.  Teachers are not required to be at the event.  Students will perform their solos for a judge in a private room, not for an audience.  Unless they are doing an evaluation, family members can sit in.

REGISTRATION FEE
Only $30 Registration fee per event.
The more events you enter, the better chance you have to becoming the World Series Champion of the year.
Summer Registration Deadline: July 9th, and Fall Registration Deadline is: Oct.6th.

MAC OPEN STAFF
Vanessa C. Schwarz, runs the MAC OPEN FALL CLASSIC each year with the help of her family and friends.  Along with Mary Anne David, of Kawai Music, they are able to run a smooth competition each year. 
Students will see many of the same faces to greet them year after year, giving them a sense of comfort.  All of the staff tries to greet everyone with a smile and caring attitude.
Many of the judging staff returns each year in different events, but new judges join the competition each year too, to get new points of view fresh out looks to the different performers.
In the past 10 years, the MAC OPEN has grown to over 900 performers in a three day weekend event.
