The Goderich Signal-Star, 1986-04-16, Page 26'AGE 8A—GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1986 Community News Goderich stu inwestern As the final stages of preparation for the Apr. 28 to May 3 Midwestern Ontario Rotary Music Festival are taking place, statistics indicate there will again be something of in- terest for everyone. Dick Marshall, Managing Chairman of the festival, who has co-ordinated the various committees since the first festival in 1982, has completed scheduling the classes and has also designed an interesting and varied daily program as well as featured evenings of bands, vocal, piajno, choirs, instrumental and dance. Marshall said, "We are very pleased to have a continued strong enrolment in all categories for our fifth annual music festival. There will be 54 choirs, 31 bands and over 500 entries in brass, woodwind, and string solos and ensembles. Junior and senior piano continues to be a major nits pirticipat ntario music festivi.l . category of competition warn over 700 en- tries in solo and ensemble performances. The remaining entries comprise vocal, organ and dance numbers." Many students participate in school choirs and bands as well as classes in piano or other instruments and dance. Since these various classes take place at the same time in different halls the difficulty of avoiding conflicts in scheduling is increased. "This is why it is so important for students and teachers to indicate on the entry. cards all of the classes in which they_are involved. This applies to accompanists as well," said Marshall. The Midwestern Ontario Rotary Music Festival is unique in being .able to accom- modate approximately 1450 classes in- cluding thousands of participants in one week virtually conflict free. Contestants taking part in the festival come from the following communities: Ayton, Atwood, Alma, Auburn, Belgrave, Brussels, Cargill, Chepstowe, Chesley, Clif- ford, Dungannon, Durham, Elmwood, Dob- binton, Flesherton, Fordwich, Formosa, Goderich, Gorrie, Gowanstown, Hanover, Harriston, Holyrood, Kincardine, Listowel, Lucknow, Markdale, Mildmay, Moorefield, Mount Forest, Owen Sound, Palmerston, Paisley, Port Elgin, Ripley, Southampton, Stratford, Tara, Teeswater, Tiverton, Walkerton, ' Waterloo, Wingham, and Wroxeter. ,Marshals remarked, "When I see all these students participating 'and realize the discipline required to arrive at a performing stage as well as the educational value gain- ed from the adjudicators, it makes all the hours I have spent working on the festival seem so worthwhile."
