The March String Fest is now in its 28th year. The workshop is for string players who want to get together and make friends, enjoy music and share in the FIDDLE BAKE-OFF.
The Twenty-Fifth Annual March String Fest There are always outstanding entries in the Fiddle Bake-Off contest. Any student who wishes to bake a dessert with a musical theme should bring it to the March String Fest. Last year cakes, cookies, pizzas and candy were made into shapes of violins, music stands, etc. Let your imagination run wild! Winners will be selected by a panel of judges. To Enter: Check the box on the registration form. Bring your entry to the March String Fest on March 3, 2007.
