Centre stage

THE ARTS are centre stage in Terrace, as the Music
Festival winds up to its conclusion on April 20,

Approximately 4,000 from throughout the north-
west are competing in the festival in this its 32nd.
year, They come from as far west as the Queen Char-
lotte Islands and as far east as Prince George,

Adjudicators from throughout B.C., Alberta and
Saskatchewan are judging the students, and en-
couraging them to strive for excellence in a variety of
disciplines.

Over the next few days audiences can choose be-
tween viewing piano, speech arts, ballet and tap.

But since you can’t see everything at once, we
thought we'd share some images from the festival.

Clockwise from the top Sarah Palahicky performs
the bouncy piece, “Playful Puppy.’’ The Caledonia
choir performed at the Pentecostal Church on Thurs-
day. The Terrace Community Band, directed by Jim
Ryan, gave a great rendition of the 1812 Overture,
complete with cannons and church bells on Saturday
night.

The adjudicators seemed lo really enjoy their job.
Most are professional musicians and artists, and
relished the chance to come ta the festival. Pictured
here are Dennis Tupman, George Roberts and
Stephen Smith. And lastly Leanne Derry and Cydney
Rusch performed a goldfish duct for ballet ad-
judicator Jackie O’ Kell.
