Prairie Sounds Chairperson Pat McRae

Piano and vocal students have responded well to the new Prairie Sounds Festival taking place in April. Chairperson Pat McRae says parents and music teachers are also looking forward to the event as it gives kids the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience and practice their pieces before exams. McRae notes they have 150 piano registrations, which is the equivalent of 3 days, and one full day of vocal and choral performances. She adds right now they're working on the program, organizing awards, and deciding who's sponsoring them. The festival will take place April 16th to the 19th in Portage la Prairie.
