2021 Featured Performer Application

The 2021 Featured Performer Application is now available to SCHOLASTIC Performers only until December 23rd!

We’re refreshing the FFCC Featured Performer Program for the 2021 season, and looking for performers who really want to be involved in not only promoting their own team, but sharing the experiences of the performers and teams in our circuit as a whole. We’re looking for new voices who want to contribute to their marching arts community!

What we’re looking for in a Featured Performer:

• Someone who loves the marching arts and the FFCC!
• Someone who wants to share their own experiences, but also those of their teammates, and those of performers  from other teams in the FFCC
• Someone who is willing to make videos, participate in and help capture interviews, contribute to articles, etc.- an active participant in promoting the teams of the FFCC
• Someone willing to dedicate at least an hour a week to content creation and engagement throughout the season

Who is eligible?

• Current performers from active teams in good standing with the FFCC for the 2021 season
• Scholastic performers (those in teams from middle or high schools). We will have other opportunities for independent performers.
