Organized by the 6 Kiwanis Clubs operating in Toronto in 1953 the Festival in now under the admini- stration of fourteen Kiwanis Clubs of Greater Toronto. Recognizing that 'a boy who blows a trumpet is not likely to blow a safe'. 8. Purpose is to provide a field of musical endeavour wherein stand- ards of achievement are established, sportsmanship developed, and aud- ience interest stimulated. The founder, Colonel Geo. Peacock opened the first Festival in 1944 with these words: "Here, the virtues of character are encouraged, for both teacher and student must learn to take success modestly and defeat graciously." Statistics for the sixteen Festivals to date indicate that: (a) More than 260,000 people have competed. (b) Competitions have drawn aud- iences of over 300,000 people. (c) Over $80,000 has been disbursed in cash awards to choirs, orchestras and bands, and for scholarships to competitors for further tuition. Competitions have two main divi- sions: Vocal and Instrumental. Vocal competitions range from the very young beginner to contestants ready for professional work, and in- clude choral classes for churches, schools and other senior and junior choral groups. Instrumental competitions include various classes of musical instru- ments in solo and group perform- ances with competitors ranging in size from the diminutive 'leg swing- er' on a piano bench to the adult playing a bass fiddle. ~ Adjudicators are eminent British, Canadian and American musicians who provide each competitor with an oral and written adjudication of their performances. 6. Highlights of Festivals to date have been the individual performance of competitors now well known to Can- adian, American and European aud- fences, such as: Glen Gould, Lois Marshall, Betty Jean Hagen, James Milligan, and Steve Starvk, and the spirited performances of public and high school choirs, orchestras and bands, 7. This festival is not a money rais- ing project.
