— it’s festival time

The annual event that turns Terrace into one
amphitheatre echoing with music for nearly two
weeks begins March 30. In its 26th year, the
Pacific Northwest Music Festival will be larger and
will have a broader range of events in 1992 than

any previous festival.

The Terrace Rotary Club demonstrated their support
of the Pacific Northwest Music Festival again this
year with the donation of $2,000 for a music
scholarship. The cheque was presented last month by
Rotary member John Clift to festival president
Marilyn Kerr and Lael McKeown.

Terrace Review — March 20, 1992

A total of 1,226 entries will compete in the
festival, bringing 4,870 participants. Competi-
tors will come from throughout the Northwest
and as far away as Fort St. John — 120 band
students, teachers and supporters arriving by
bus — to seek awards, scholarships, a chance
to perform in a prestigious regional festival,

‘and to receive evaluation at the hands of

distinguished adjudicators,

By category, the competition consists of 290
speech art entries, 167 instrumental, 442 in
piano, 121 choral and vocal, 141 dance and 58
band, as well as seven original musical compo-
sitions. ,

The competitions will be held in three loca-
tions: the R.E.M. Lee Theatre, Skeena Junior
Secondary School, and the auditorium and
fireside room in the Pentecostal Church on Eby
St. The festival’s first week will be devoted to
junior piano, speech arts and choral speaking.
Band competition and dance events will be
held the weekend of April 3-5, with instrumen-
tal competitions being held on April 2 and 6.
