A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOr - APRIL EDITION

The Role of Performance in Music Education

Well, it’s time to start thinking about all of our end-of-year performances.  Whether a theatrical, instrumental or choral event, many of our students are about to take the stage as the school year comes to a close.  Performance anxiety, stage fright, cold feet. Whatever you call it, it’s not just for performers! Whether it’s feeling nervous before a big presentation at work, needing a deep breath before making an important phone call, or feeling apprehensive before a job interview, we spend lots of our time preparing for life’s little “performances,” even if we never actually step foot on a stage.

DISTRICT FINE ARTS FESTIVAL

Recently Trinity hosted the District Fine Arts Festival for the Assemblies of God.  Our students had the chance to perform in many different Arts categories including singing, instrumental performance, preaching, puppetry, comedy, physical art, photography and more.  This festival is designed to give students a chance to express their art form in a way that honors the Lord.  They are critiqued on their performance, including their ministry effectiveness, and those who score high enough are invited to the National Fine Arts Festival in early August.  We had 65 students participate this year.  Congratulations to our 18 merit winners, individuals or groups who won their category for the entire state! We also had 43 entries score in the top three in the state. Well done, Trinity!!  And now, on to Columbus, Ohio for the National Festival in a few months.  This is always a highlight for our students.  Make sure to participate next Spring as we host again.  For more information, please email tim.hurt@tcslions.org
