Bach Festival- Continuing to the Regionals

Three days ago, I competed in a local Bach Festival- for those of you who do not know what a "festival"for the piano is, I shall explain; You elect which festival you wish to attend (contemporary, jazz, Baroque, Romantic, etc). After this, you find one or two music pieces which are categorized under these musical periods-these pieces usually need to be short, as your performance time is limited to about five minutes. You then go to (usually) a church of some sort and, along with about twenty other students, you perform your music for three judges. These judges choose whether you will proceed to the next level. I did a contemporary festival last year, and the Gold medalists were permitted to perform at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza; (I was a Gold medalist- I have no idea how though- I forget an entire movement during the tryouts.) In the Bach Festival I just competed in, I made it to the next level, or the Regionals. The Regionals will take place on May 3rd.
