The Cynthia Davies Memorial Award This award is presented annually to an individual or group who significantly contributes to the performing fine arts in the Vanderhoof, Fort St James, Fort Fraser or Fraser Lake areas.

HISTORYCynthia Davies was a music and voice teacher who came to Vanderhoof from Ontario in 1959. She taught piano and voice lessons in Vanderhoof and Burns Lake and was instrumental in starting the annual Christmas Choir Concert, organizing musical productions by the Vanderhoof Theatre Group and helping establish the Burns Lake Music Festival.

Cynthia saw a need for a grand piano in Vanderhoof and actively raised funds until the objective was met. A special room was built at NVSS to house this community treasure.

When Cynthia left Vanderhoof in 1979, an award was established in her honor to recognize other members of the community who have contributed significantly to the fine arts.

Please view the award to see the many in our communities who have received this award.

The Nechako Valley Music / Speech Arts Association would like to thank the Vanderhoof Christian Fellowship and NVSS for the use of their facilities over the years during the festival. Without such support, it would be impossible to have a festival.

A special thank you to SD 91 for printing up our Syllabus and Program.

Also, a very special thank you goes to donors who responded to the request for financial assistance for the Festival over the years. It is through the generous contributions of individuals and businesses that so many people have a chance to participate in such an event.

FESTIVAL ETIQUETTE

The Nechako Valley Festival of the Performing Arts is a small regional festival. We welcome participants of all ages and abilities, and we want you to have a fun and enjoyable experience!

You will generally experience a much more relaxed atmosphere at our festival than you might at larger festivals. For a relaxed and enjoyable experience for all participants, and as a courtesy to our performers and adjudicators, we request that a few simple practices be observed by everyone:

1. Please do not enter the auditorium while a performer is on stage, or while the adjudicator is speaking.

2. Quiet talking between performances is certainly permissible, but please refrain from speaking while a performer is on stage.

3. Do not take flash pictures of performers during a performance. Quiet operation of video cameras from the back is usually not a distraction.

4. Performers: you will want to present your best possible performance for the enjoyment of the audience and the adjudicator. To achieve this, we suggest the following:

Introduce yourself and your choice of selection (include the author or composer, as appropriate). Use a positive, upbeat style of speech to set the stage for our enjoyment of your performance.

Say thank-you to the audience for their appreciation of your performance by ending it with a simple bow.

Please wear appropriate attire for your performances; do not detract attention away from your performance with inappropriate dress.

Don’t chew gum while on stage!

5. Adjudicator decisions are final. Participants, parents, and teachers are not allowed to question the adjudicator about his or her decision.

6. If you are honored with an invitation to perform in the Festival Concert, please dress up! We plan the Festival Concert in the middle of a Sunday afternoon to accommodate younger performers and those that might have to travel distances, so we ask that you make your plans such that you can stay for the entire concert. This is a huge courtesy to the other performers.

7. Please turn your cell phones off.

RELAX, HAVE FUN, AND ENJOY YOUR FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE!WE HOPE YOU COME BACK AND PERFORM AGAIN FOR US.

BC Provincial Festival Victoria, BCMay 29-June 2, 2018

Established in 1964, Performing Arts BC (formerly the BC Association of Performing Arts Festivals), is a not-for-profit charity which acts as the umbrella organization for 34 regional performing arts festivals throughout the

province. These festivals are as diverse in size and scope as the communities they represent. Over 32,000 young musicians, dancers and dramatic artists, ranging in age from 5 to 28, participate each year in one of these regional festivals. The festival setting gives them an opportunity to gain invaluable educational and performing experience. The Provincial Festival, also known as The Provincials, is the eagerly anticipated

pinnacle of BC's festival circuit. Hosted by a different regional festival each year, only the most promising young performers from each regional festival are recommended to the Provincial Festival where they compete and participate in adjudicated sessions, master classes, coaching, workshops and technique classes with some

of North America's finest adjudicators. Classes are offered at the Provincial level in Classical Voice, Musical Theatre, Piano, Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, Guitar, Chamber Music, Speech Arts, Ballet, Modern Dance and

Stage Dance. The very best performers in various music disciplines are then recommended to move on to the National Music Festival.

NECHAKO VALLEY FESTIVAL of the PERFORMING ARTSThe Nechako Valley Festival of the Performing Arts is a small regional festival. This is the 40th Annual Festival and, sadly, is also the last Festival scheduled. It is appropriate to review the history of this Festival and acknowledge the many individuals who have faithfully worked to present this Festival every year. The first Nechako Valley Music Festival was held in spring 1978 and, as a novel event, must have presented many challenges to the organizers. To be successful, this event would have required the cooperation and contribution of a festival committee, local schools, churches, businesses, arts groups and numerous dedicated volunteers. In the early years of the Music Festival, competitors from Vanderhoof and neighbouring communities performed solos, small groups, choirs, and school bands. Students ranging from 1st year to 4th (or more) year entered in piano, strings, woodwinds and voice. There were even adults performing. The increasing popularity of these Performing Arts Festivals resulted in a Festival Concert being held in Ft. St. James as well as Vanderhoof. As the annual Festival presentations continued, the range of competitions expanded, particularly in the speech arts categories and included French as well as English content. The Syllabus became more exacting and competitors’ compliance was as important as the selection of material to be performed. It was important to include as many competitors and performers as possible and, while competition was the primary objective, those who preferred to enter non-competitively were also welcomed. As the Festival of the Performing Arts matured in early 2000’s, the range of competitions diminished and eventually band instrumental competitions, and then string, were no longer included. The focus of the Festival was increasingly on presentations by students of local music teachers. Performances were primarily speech, vocal and piano presentations. There now are fewer students willing to undertake concentrated study and practice of their artform to present publicly, and the work needed to arrange the Festival cannot continue in such a reduced format. However, the impact the Festival of Performing Arts has had on the participating communities cannot
