From little acorns

TERRACE — The Pacific Nor-
thwest Music Festival marks its
silver anniversary this year and
as one of its founding members
notes, the event has come a long
way over the past 25 years.
Marylin Davies (she and An-
dy Brodie are the only two
original committee members
still living in the community)
recalls that first Festival at-
tracted approximately. 300 en-
tries from Terrace, Kitimat and
Prince Rupert, lasted just three

_ days and had just a single ad-

judicator — Phyllis Schutdt —
who “did literally everything.’

Comprre those figures to the
almost 4,600 participants from
communities across the -entire
northwest who will appear at
this year’s 10 day event and the
growth in its popularity is ob-
vious.

And that .growth, Davies
points out, had continued
despite fears at one time that
decline was inevitable. ‘We
didn’t have TV 25 years ago,'*
she explains, Its arrival had pro-
mpted forecasts of ‘‘doom and
gloom’? that kids would be
lured away from the Arts.

Happily, she adds, those
fears had proved groundless.

In part, she suggests, the ex-
istence of the Festival itself is
responsible for that. “Music by
its nature can be a very lonely
art,”’ she explains. However,
the Festival offers the
youngsters an opportunity each

year to meet .with performers.

from elsewhere and find out
what is happening in other com-
munities, “‘It gives then a group
to be part of,’ she says.

Those involved in the Festival
have also taken a keen interest
in promoting and maintaining
music programs in lacal schools
which in turn produce future
participants,

Can it keep growing ? Davies

says there is no reason why it .

shouldn't, adding ‘The max-

imum would be reached when.

we ran out of volunteers.” | --,
Emphasizing the value of -

those volunteers, she says about.

100 individuals will be donating:
their time over the next 10 days
to carry. out the numerous tasks.
associated with putting on an.
event of this scale.

Pointing out some of those
volunteers have “doing this

forever,’’ she also pays tribute.

to others in the community-who
have lent their support to the
event from the very beginning.
They included businesses that

had advertised in the Festival.
