Fine arts festival- General council #6

Once again I was blown away by the youth in the Fine Arts Festival. This is a time where students compete with others who have won in their state competitions in about 50 areas of music, drama, preaching, art, etc. The first time everyone comes they are shocked by how good they are- the best kids in music in each category are American Idol level, some are future professionals. About ten thousand people are involved in the total competition. It is pretty challenging to sit before a large room packed with people and three judges (who are nicer than American Idol, but just as tough in their written evaluations).

We are proud to have two youth this year make it to the nationals, and one to make the final ten (out of about 80) in the guitar solo category. Congratulations, Vic Davi and Dave Rosen!
