from the acton free press thefutorof the north halton music festival hartn the balance following the annual meeting in acton almost everyone at the meetng seemed to feet- that thetrjea of a festival was no longer feasible under the new countywide board of education but there is much inter est in filling the vacuum with something just as meaningful there is some dragging of feet from those who ewnslderthe idea of music and festivals as old fashioned or out of place in the jet age but they seemed to be in the minority then is also some opposition from some of the education figures who believe competition in any form is harrnful to children the day when each school in the county had its own music teacher has pas- sod apparently in place of the itinerant tee cher there are five music consultants la look after an average of 17 schools each in some schools music is taught by class- from teachers with advice from the consult ants this and a shortage of auditoriums relegates music and singing to arrets im portant place in the curriculum we can gre that the music festival probebty dots need some sfrearnlfalng but it does teem toe bad there is an apparent lack of interest from the new county board of education in keeping the festival func- tfonfng musk has always been an impor tant jjart of the curriculum in north halton schools and in a day when much of the music is horribly similar it would seem there should be more rather than less emphasis on it v hwy- tss 4 i- we dont like to inject a sour note nj s the discussion but it is the children who t gs benefit from musical training not those j who administer the schools- the festival helps to foster the idea of perfection as well as leading to a better appreciation of singers arid singing there has been sme suggestion that the festival could carry oh withdtit sys- j tem of marking so there are no disappoin- tedlosers but this again is a needless gen uflection in thne direction of those who cannot stomach the though of competition without the competition there would be no interest whatsoever in a day set aside for hearing repetitious singirig it is the competition between schools and singers which gives the festival its flavor and fun are you in favor of retaining the north halton music festival or do you have some suggestions for keeping the annual conpetition going secretary glenda ben ton would be delighted to hear from you incidentally the festival has received excellent support from the womens insti tutes over the past few years and their donations have kept going up some mem bers of the executive of the music festival feel there is still a very strong desire from the public to keep the annual festival going j and they point to the excellent financial off tfl gflofl stdrt statement as evidence of public support we might add that it is still a delight to attend one of the festival sessions and listen to the students sing the large attend ance at the evening sessions indicates the
