The Huron Area Junior Festival was held Sunday, March 8, at Bethesda Church, Huron. The event is a program sponsored by the National Federation of Music Clubs and administered by the South Dakota Federation of Music Clubs. The Festivals program is designed to promote study and stimulate interest in American literature and to encourage each participant to reach a high standard of musical achievement. Each participant plays two memorized pieces for evaluation by an adjudicator. Participants receive certificates after each Festival and gold cups are earned on a point system based on Festival ratings.
Participating teachers from the Huron Federated Music Club included Beverly Bigge, Kristi Kattner, Tricia Larson and Tabitha Unruh.
Adjudicators were Kay Fischer, Aberdeen, and Laurie Hamm, Huron.
