School/Sunday School. When I was young - in the 50s, I belonged to School and Sunday School choirs. One or two days a year were looked forward to as we entered the school or Sunday School musical Festival. We loved the performing and the competition with other schools/Sunday schools and individuals. I used to sing solos (until I was about 12), recite poetry and at the Sunday school Festival, read a Bible reading. I still have certificates somewhere, mainly for the Bible Reading performances. But I never did come first, every year the same girl from the same church (these were all free churches) used to win all her classes. (Wonder if she had a friend in the judges??) she was very talented. |

Sadly it is often the parents these days that tell the child what greatness they can have because they are so good. The elder children have seen what can be obtain and who can blame them for being disappointed if they are not as good as the parents say they are. It´s a cruel world out there and it has never been a nice world to child stars |

Here's me thinking you were going to be talking about the likes of Glastonbury :-) I think the Wombles might get a bit muddy if they turn up there this year ;-) |

I agree with Uzzi - there are so many pushy parents around these days, the poor kids don't stand a chance. Children need to be taught from an early age that winning isn't the be all and end all, but taking part is, even if they don't win. |

Fred has never attempted much in his life through fear of failure. He has always known the best way to do things but would never actually get on and do them in case he didn't achieve perfection every time. |

Lady Scozz, different type of festival but yes I'd stay home too. Ithink in this area there is actually a Christian festival of the type you mean though. |
