Virtual Rotary Festival will feature 150 musicians

The Rotary Music Festival will be taking place this year, it will just look different.
While organizers had planned for an in-person festival for 2021, regulations in place since November meant that wouldn’t be possible.
But the festival is still working with more than 150 Hat musicians to keep the tradition alive. Each musicians will send in videotaped performances and will receive adjudication virtually.
“We were planning for a live festival and it really did look possible, but the health restrictions came in and we had to change our plans,” said executive director Delynne Lorentzen. “It was disappointing that we couldn’t go forward with our plan, but we understand the situation.
