The Coulsdon and Purley Festival are indebted to the IT technical support from Sam Gee to enable the 2021 Festival to be run virtually. www.samgee.co.uk "P is just a gem. He is so kind and has made all our students feel 10 feet tall. Some of them were very nervous this morning but I encouraged them to get their adjudication because he is so good, building their confidence by telling them all the things they did right, which they might not even have noticed, then tips for improving for next time. They are all winners in his book."
"It was my first time attending the Festival and I found it to be such a valuable experience - not only to help improve my performance in the future, but to also hear people who share a similar interest." "I am so happy I took part - it was super enjoyable and I think I'll enter next year too!" |
FROM PERFORMERS, PARENTS AND VISITORS:
"CONGRATULATIONS to Coulsdon and Purley Festival for harnessing the technology and making the Festival experience so personal and enjoyable for the entrants." "We had a lovely time listening to everyone on Sunday, You are all to be commended for a smooth transition into the digital performance world. It was well run and my child thoroughly enjoyed being able to participate. We cannot wait until we are all back in person to see everyone perform live!" "Congratulations to all the Festival committee for making the Festival as 'live' as possible with immediate feedback from the adjudicator." "My daughter was so inspired after her lovely feedback from the adjudicator, she was spurred on to play La Cumparsita in the garden! Thank you for all your efforts and please pass on our gratitude to everyone who has freely given up their time to create this opportunity." |
