The Competition

One performance of each of the above musicals will be attended and judged by a professional Adjudicator, and a detailed, written critique will be given to each school after all competitions are finished.

On a date and time to be announced [tentatively Tuesday June 3, 2008, location Hi-Way Pentecostal Church, Barrie] an Awards Gala will be held, and awards will be presented in a number of categories, including Best Production, Best Voice, Best Costume Design, Best Set Design, etc.  As well, we hope to have a short presentation by each of the above schools.  This Award Gala will be a fundraiser--a nominal admission charge will apply, and net proceeds will be divided equally five ways--funds will be distributed to the four schools and BMFA in support of the production of musicals in the schools.  Please support this fundraiser by attending the Gala!

Please bookmark and return to this web page for more details as they become available!

The Barrie Music Festival Association ( www.barriemusicfestival.com ) is very grateful for the support of the Retired Teachers of Ontario, District 17 (Simcoe).  Without their generous assistance this year, this great new project could not have come to fruition!  On behalf of all participants in the 2008 High Schools Musical Competition, we thank the RTO, District 17 (Simcoe)!
