The Highwood Lions Music Festival is still happening this year! Hurray!

As someone who performed in the festival for numerous years in several categories, I can tell you first hand that this is an experience that all singers, performers and musicians need to take part in.

The Highwood Lions Music Festival promotes music and speech art performance by students and enthusiasts within the Foothills and surrounding areas. The festival is a high-quality festival, providing participants with valuable performance experience, support, advice and education from highly qualified music teachers and coaches as their adjudicators. They are a non-profit annual festival for all students and lovers of music and performance.

They are going virtual this year and there are a few new guidelines in place for your registration and piece submissions.

The President of the Highwood Lions Music Festival and teacher at 'Music with Chelsea', Chelsea Bustin tells us how she got involved with the festival and how you can get involved:
