The Watford Festival was established over 75 years ago and has grown from strength to strength to become one of the largest and most respected in the UK. It aims to encourage people of all ages to perform in the areas of Music, Speech and Drama by providing an opportunity to perform before an adjudicator and an audience.
The Festival is held in February and March every year. It is a competitive festival and there are classes for both children and adults available. Classes are divided into the following sections:
Choral, Vocal, Pianoforte, Strings, Woodwind & Brass, Carnatic and Speech & Drama.
The Festival receives many hundreds of entries every year, involving hundreds of participants. It offers a unique opportunity for these participants to experience performing in front of an audience and to receive expert advice and encouragement.

STRINGS SECTION SECTION LEADERWe need a volunteer to take up the role of Strings Section Leader, as our current Section Leader Adrianne Landsman cannot continue in the role - however, she is very willing to assist and support a new incoming Section Leader.. WOODWIND AND BRASS SECTION LEADERWe need a volunteer to take up the role of Woodwind and Brass Section Leader, as our current Section Leader Ayelet Yuchetel cannot continue in the role - however, she is very willing to assist and support a new incoming Section Leader.All Section Leader Roles need specific activity at particular points in the year, but are perfectly doable as part-time intermittent activities (for the most part).
