2010 Festival

The 2010 Festival got underway yesterday morning, and results will be entered in the Results section of the website as they become available.

 

The first morning in the Royal Hall was taken up with the junior choirs, and it was a great day for Scoill Phurt le Moirrey, who were the winners of the Vancouver Shield for the best performance in all of the classes. They also won both the Phurt le Moirrey Cup for Up to Year 2 pupils and the Doris Fargher Trophy for Schools with under 150 pupils on the register.

 

In the afternoon in the Royal Hall, the Standard Song (1930 to present day)(Years 9 to 13) Class was won by Moira Pain singing "The Show". This was the first Class in the 118 year history of the Festival where the use of a microphone was allowed, an innovation which was evidently well received by the competitors, as virtually all of them used it. 

 

In the Folk Dancing Classes, the prestigious Leighton Stowell Cup was won by Perree Bane for the best performance of the day. This was for a score of 91 marks in the Country Dancing (Years 7 to 13) Class."
