The deadline to enter this year’s Estevan and District Music Festival is quickly approaching.

The opportunities to enter closes Feb. 1. To find the online entry form, people are asked to visit emfd.musicfestivalsuite.com.

People must create a profile identification in order to enter. Students under the age of 18 must have their parent’s permission in the form of an entrant’s parent profile, and must have their teacher’s and parent’s profile ID numbers in order to enter.

Teachers can enter piece names and class numbers, as in previous years, once the parent and student profiles are complete. For assistance, people are asked to visit the Music Festival Suite website, call Anita Kuntz at 306-421-6923, or email estevanmusicfestival@sasktel.net.

The Saskatchewan Music Festival website has a link on the district festivals page.

Registration for the festival started Jan. 15. The festival has a new registration system this year.

Performances for this year’s music festival are scheduled to start with piano from March 24-30. This will be followed by vocal and speech arts from March 31-April 2. The festival will wrap up with band April 3-4.

Each year thousands of dollars in scholarships and awards are handed out to outstanding performers in the music festival as well.
