March 15 to 17 weekend of the
Pacific Northwest Music
Festival.

- The celebration of music this
weekend thrilléd the audience
and participants alike as bands
and orchestras and combos from
throughout the northern section

BS oof British Columbia converged

on Terrace for the annual

For the first time, the band

Participants in the competitions
had the opportunity to qualify
for the provincial finals in the
Pacific Coast Music Festival and
for the national finals for
MusicFest Canada.

Bands and orchestras arrived
by bus and by van from Fort St.
John, Mackenzie, Prince George
and towns all the way to Prince
Rupert, Stewart and Kitimat,
and the players were of all ages
and skills, from beginners to

' seasoned players, in school and

community bands.

‘Tt is a unique opportunity to
learn and develop as well as to
participate with other bands,”’
said Dr. William Street, one of
the adjudicators, “but most im-
portant is the emphasis on pro-

viding a positive learning eX-

perience for everyone.’

Directors entered their groups
at their best performance level.
Immediately following their per-
formance, each band moved to
the band room for a workshop
with one of the adjudicators. In
addition, each band will receive
one taped and two written ad-
judications.

“We travelled 15 hours by bus
to get here,’’ said a member of
one of the groups from Fort St.

Science and technology are the
keys to strengthening B.C.'s
economy. They unlock doors for
companies to expand their
operations and introduce new
products and systems. At times,
though, scientists, engineers and
technologists need assistance to
turn their ideas into attion. That's
where Technology B.C. comes in.

Technology B.C. (formerly STDF-
AGAR) is a program administered
by the Science Council for the

’ Ministry of Advanced Education,
Training and Technology, with

funding from the British Columbia .

Science and Technology Fund.

This program has already helped

lift dozens of projects off the
drawing board and into develop-
“ment in such areas as agriculture,
energy, environmental technology,

‘manufacturing, forest products
mining and electronics.

Deadline for the next Technology
B.C. competition is 5:00 p.m.,
Wednesday, May 1. Results will be
announced in the summer. For
