Chairman’s Introduction
WELCOME TO OUR 90th FESTIVAL
I am delighted to continue to serve again as Chairman of this prestigious and very important annual event. We enjoyed ahighly successful Festival last year and anticipate another packed programme of classes and events in the next one.
We will continue to celebrate different aspects of the Performing Arts through speech and drama, singing and music whichwill be brought to us by the many performers all of whom, together with their teachers, work hard to bring their uniqueperformances to us during the Festival.
It is more important than ever before that we continue to strive to support performers of all ages and abilities by giving themexciting opportunities to develop their skills and perform with confidence to very appreciative audiences. More adultparticipation would be especially welcome.
Our very active volunteer committee, coordinators and stewards are determined to develop welltested old, and newinnovations to support the broad objectives of the Festival thereby enhancing its prestige in the wider community. Twooutreach 2016 events at Sidholme, Sidmouth and Blundell’s School, Tiverton were very successful and we hope next year tobe able to continue to offer more. A Piano Masterclass at Sidmouth Parish Church during the afternoon of Friday 12 Maywith an internationally acclaimed pianist is already in the calendar.
The ongoing challenges we face both financially and logistically are substantial, so any further help from other sourceswould be very gratefully received. Please contact any committee member or myself if you can help us in any way. We willbe making a very special effort to contact schools and colleges as well as individual teachers. Please let us know if you canadd names to our existing date base of contacts or help with publicity and/or stewarding.
Our combination of using two venues last year proved a little difficult and we are grateful to both venues for their flexibilityand cooperation. This year we hope to improve matters by making some small changes to our programme so that we willhave a block of three days at United Reformed Church, with the rest of the events being at South Street Baptist Church. Wehope this will be clearer for our participants and make organisation simpler. The Gala Concert will also take place at UnitedReformed Church. Please check on the website for details as well as more information about the Festival. A printed syllabusis available on request.
Our exciting 2017 Festival commences on 20th February, culminating in a special Gala Concert at Southernhay UnitedReformed Church, Exeter on Sunday 12th. March at 3 p.m.
I sincerely look forward to seeing many of you at one or more events and hope that you will thoroughly enjoy the 2017Festival.

For 2017, we have been able to arrange a blockbooking at United Reformed Church for the following dates (which wehope will be simpler for all concerned), so if your class is due to be held on any of these dates it will definitely be at UnitedReformed Church:

GUIDANCE
Where reference has been made either to a specific grade, or to terms such as elementary, intermediate etc, or to a levelexpressed in Grades, it is expected that entrants, parents, and especially teachers, will bear in mind that it is in the spirit ofthe festival to try to adhere carefully to the standards suggested by the the relevant grade. If in any doubt about the level of apiece then teachers should not hesitate to contact the Instrumental Section Coordinator who will be happy to giveguidance.
Whilst it is obviously acceptable to play an exam piece in the festival, wider repertoire is strongly encouraged, in the contextof the above advice.

Within any class, the adjudicator will pay more heed to the standard of the performance than to the level of difficulty of thepiece.

GUIDANCE
Where reference has been made either to a specific grade, or to terms such as elementary, intermediate etc, or to a levelexpressed in Grades, it is expected that entrants, parents, and especially teachers, will bear in mind that it is in the spirit ofthe festival to try to adhere carefully to the standards suggested by the the relevant grade. If in any doubt about the level of apiece then teachers should not hesitate to contact the Keyboard Section Coordinator who will be happy to give guidance.
Whilst it is obviously acceptable to play an exam piece in the festival, wider repertoire is strongly encouraged, in the contextof the above advice.
Candidates may play only one piece in each class, unless the description of the class expressly states otherwise.
Within any class, the adjudicator will pay more heed to the standard of the performance than to the level of difficulty of thepiece.
