So...um...yeah...normally not saying no is a bad thing. Then again, this might turn out badly on a few different levels, but I just couldn't say no to this opportunity.
I was invited to adjudicate a "medium to large" festival (almost the same size as ours). I was invited to adjudicate their senior voice, school & community choirs!! I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to go to a larger festival!
This could be bad since it is the SAME WEEK as our local festival. That's ok. I had sent an email out to the parents that I probably wouldn't be putting people in this year's festival anyway! LOL!! But, I will be leaving another teacher without an accompanist. *shrugs* This year, there were 3 full time accompanists to serve all the kids. This year, I'll be away & another has a full time day & night gig that week, so that leaves 1 accompanist. I'll take losing funds to gain the experience.
Here's hoping it's a spring board for the bigger ones/out of province ones...and that it doesn't completely backfire on me!!

It never hurts to see what goes on at other festivals. It will be a good learning experience and pad your resume. Our festival will just have to deal.
