The FFCC was founded in 1985 by a group of educators who believed in the transformative power of the arts and the endless potential of the performers they taught. They had a vision to create a positive place to growth through competition and education. Like many big dreams, they only succeeded through the support of volunteers who shared their vision. The FFCC has been extremely fortunate to have many altruistic individuals through our history but one made such an indelible mark that we can point to her contributions as a turning point in our history. Susan Taylor served years on the Board of Directors as Treasurer and then many more as the linchpin of our contest staff. Each year we celebrate Susan by recognizing individuals who represent that spirit of selfless giving and dedication to the performers and organization of the FFCC. The FFCC is now accepting nominations for the Susan Taylor Humanitarian Award. Nomination will be accepted from March 08, 2018 until March 25, 2018. Your can fill out the nomination form HERE.

AAA Class Rule Change for 2016
During the May meeting, members voted to make changes to the AAA Class Performance Criteria. The FFCC Board met in September to discuss the possible implementation of these changes. As a result, the following criteria has been changed for the AAA Class:
- AAA Class will be judged on the Regional A Sheet, but will use A Class timing requirements.
- Minimum Performance Time is 4 minutes
- Maximum Performance Time is 5.5 minute
- Minimum Equipment Time is 3.5 minutes
This will create a fairness for AAA members who are promoted to AA Class during the season, or that qualify for the “Moving Up” program at Championships.
**Any group that is promoted to the AAA Class from B Class may need to add time to their program to avoid penalty.**
