Ribbon Festival means lots of young musicians are memorizing music
In all, 299 student musicians, representing 33 area teachers, will be performing in Ribbon Festival, held Saturday, Nov. 23, at Bluffton University’s Mosiman and Yoder recital halls.
"Ribbon Festival is made possible by the Middle West Ohio Music Teachers Association. Ribbon Festival provides the opportunity for a positive performance experience for students of any age or skill leve," said Krysti Schey, of Krysti's Music Studio, Bluffton.
"Each registered student performs one piece (preferably memorized) in a one-hour time block recital setting," she said.
"A qualified adjudicator provides positive written remarks and constructive feedback on a comment sheet. At the conclusion of each recital hour, each student receives a certificate, ribbon and comment sheet. Family and friends are welcomed and encouraged to attend the event"
Here are the Ribbon Festival performance locations and times for students of Krysti’s Music Studio who are participating in the event. Instruments represented in the event will be piano, voice, violin and guitar.
