This evening there was a concert to showcase the arts centre and the various local musical groups and activities. The line-up included a couple of bands, a couple of choirs, a music teacher solo and in a duet with one of her students, and various other solos, duets, etc. (I was in the brass band.)

It was nice enough, but I'm not sure how successful it was as a showcase - subtract the performers and their relatives, and there wasn't very much audience left over.

The main part of the performing arts festival is the music sections, which take up a whole weekend, but there's also a drama section, which takes one evening a few weeks later.

One of the reasons I went to the drama night this year was that the adjudicator was Raymond Omodei, who was Director-in-Residence at the Repertory Club for a few months this year. Adjudicating the drama night was one of the incidental things he did as Director-in-Residence. The main thing was directing a play, The Playboy of the Western World.

And there's a whole 'nother entry I could write about that, but I don't think I'll do it right now. This is long enough already.
