We endeavour to provide a positive environment where young performers are encouraged to grow and perform.
The purpose of the Penticton Kiwanis Music, Dance and Speech Arts Festival is to complement and enhance the learning/teaching process. It provides an opportunity for students to perform their music, speech arts and dance achievements and to receive a constructive, meaningful evaluation of their performances. In doing so, the Festival aims to foster and promote a lifelong interest and appreciation for music, dance and speech arts.
In order to fulfill it's Purpose the Festival:
- establishes rules and categories for performance by consulting with teachers and provincial/national music festival organizations
- engages the services of professional adjudicators to provide constructive verbal and written critiques with competitive ranking
- presents certificates, medallions, trophies, scholarships and awards to competitors based on adjudicated results
- provides a steppingstone to provincial and national competition
- presents Highlights Concerts for outstanding performances
