With more than 200 entries, the 2021 Battlefords Kiwanis Music Festival’s program is shaping into place. Yes, there are many COVID safety restrictions to navigate, but there are many positives to celebrate as well. Though there will not an in-person audience for performers, live streaming will allow family and friends from far and wide to view performances. Participants will have the opportunity to enjoy the professional stage and concert grand piano the Dekker Centre offers. Participants will follow strict protocols, wearing masks whenever they enter or exit the performance space. Vocalists and those playing woodwind-type instruments will be allowed to remove masks while performing with the use of a plexiglass barrier for added safety.
