A large number of the vocal section includes musical theatre numbers and we are pleased to have several school and community choirs participating, said Gina Bialuski, festival volunteer.
The festival has grown yearly from about 20 competitors to what it is today, and has played a role in the successes of many local students who have went on to make music their career.
This year's festival starts on February 26 with the entry deadline being January 14, 2011.
