YOU SAW IT FIRST ON THE WEB!
No not the Olympics although it feels like it after a very long day.
A fantastic day of sheer talent and enjoyment - theatre is quite safe if the level of talent and enjoyment in today's YouthFest is any guide.

Thanks for the details, Norma and congratulations to all the participants. I've also heard, although i wasn't able to be there myself, that Kerri Hilton's adjudication was superbly constructive and compassionate!

Is there any particular reason why the website didn't rate a mention in the program? Curious that all the other activities of the ITA rated a mention, but the busiest and most active didn't even rate a small link.

Cheers
Grant
