YAGP
International Semi-Final Tour Guide
Brisbane, Australia: October 14 - 15, 2019
Dear Friends,
We are thrilled to welcome you to the Youth America Grand Prix 21st competition season and the fourth
annual year of the Australian Semi - Finals. Below, you will find a preliminary timeline - to help you plan
your schedule - and venue information.
TIMELINE
Please note that the posted timeline is NOT FINAL, and is only meant to give you an idea of how each
particular semi-final will be structured. If you see a "pending" date for your venue of choice, this means
that depending on the number of students who register, we may have 2 groups of classes instead of just
one. Closer to the event, the master classes will be divided up by age, at the discretion of the YAGP
regional team. These classes, in addition to being an educational experience, will also serve as a live
audition for several European and American schools - summer programs, short term visits, and full year
opportunities - as well as an audition for the YAGP New York City Finals 2020.
The breakdown will be made clear in the final timeline. The first draft of the updated timeline will be
posted after the registration cut-off date, about five-to-six weeks prior to each semi-final. The final
timeline will be posted 7 - 10 days before the event.
VENUE
Here you will find details about all Semi-Final event facilities. We are also planning to do a Q&A Session
for parents and teachers during the Master Classes. More details will be available after registration
begins.
Best of luck this season, and please do not hesitate to direct any additional questions to
All the best,
The YAGP Team
