Provincial News

Musical Theatre – Competitors MUST set the scene for each piece performed. The introduction does not need to be long or complicated, but the audience and adjudicator must be told the title of the piece to be performed, the musical it comes from and very briefly how it fits into the story.

All dance music is to be submitted by email before the Provincial festival. However backup CDs must still be brought to the festival.

Stage Dance – Performing Arts BC is now allowing UIMF to send an additional Intermediate and Senior representative to Provincials if we can maintain at least 200 solo Stage Dance entries!

All string, woodwind, brass and guitar players and chamber music groups should consider entering the Canadian Music class in addition to their main class. All instrumentalists will play one Canadian piece divided up only by level. See the Provincial Syllabus for further information.
