Over the past ten days we have been treated to one of the most well organized, entertaining and energizing events of the year - the annual Kiwanis Music Festival. A small band of volunteers create a fantastic talent showcase that rivals any other festival in the province. What truly makes it successful though is the talent - our region's children are awesome!! Paired with their highly skilled music teachers these kids are a talent tour-de-force. To appreciate the talent that I speak of here, you really need to see it and hear it. The technology that you are using here helps you do that. Through my job I have a lot of occasion to use technology and share its application with my students and the greater community. In our Business program at the Clarenville Campus we use this same technology extensively in the classroom and outside to teach (hands on) communications and media skills. What you are seeing here and in other pages/projects that we are involved in is a sample of some of the things we (our students) do - and we have a lot of fun doing it!
This term the College has made a considerable investment in new gear - some of has been used here - that will take us in the next 5-7 years. You'll certainly be seeing it in use at the campus and in the community. It's going to help you see what we have and see what we do.
Above you will see the Agenda Sheet for the 2.5 hour concert. In order to manage the size of the concert, I have split it into several parts - that you see below. If you click on the image of the agenda you can see where everyone falls. Above each Video clip I have put the range of names performing in that piece. Better still, watch it all you will be amazed...

It is fantastic to see talented children. Unfortunately modern educational system is concentrated on other things but not giving our children opportunity to develop their creativity. As a rule students are trying to find help with homework online and it is quite easy but it is impossible to cheat while creating hand-made things or music as it tends to be one of the most honest in our times. So what definitely worth doing is giving our children a chance to develop their soul just the same as mind.
