Cowichan Music Festival
A number of our students participated in the 60th Annual Cowichan Music Festival this past month. There were 18 individuals involved in the piano, vocal, and instrumental sections of the festival as well as group dance numbers, one of which included the entire cast of this year's musical. Of the 30 or so classes entered, Shawnigan students received 13 First Place certificates, 14 Second Place certificates, and 4 Third Place certificates. As well, Marisa P., Alex C., Adam M., Ethan C., and Ciara S. received prizes and scholarships while Ben R., Ethan C., Amanda D. and Krit K. were awarded prizes and asked to perform at the gala concerts. On Wednesday night of this week, Jeff T. has been asked to perform at the distinguished Festival Highlights Concert and will be receiving an award. Well done, performers!
