The Performing Arts Festival application form deadline is March 5. This is not the deadline to submit the video performance. The completion of this form will just show intent of making a video submission within any category.
Cynthia Donald, festival co-chair, said there has been confusion with the application form deadline because there are different dates posted on the website and the Facebook page. Donald said they are honouring the later date of March 5.
“It’s really just an intention so I know we aren’t going to end up with 25 piano solos. We’d like a variety,” Donald said. “And right now we’re just taking one submission in each [category], but it depends again on how many we get, we might end up with two.”

I think now is the right time, Johnson said.
More than a year since he last sat down for a television interview, Johnson responded to accusations he verbally and sexually abused his former driver.
CHATMAN:
Some of the details in the lawsuit are very graphic, very disturbing. She accuses you of sexually assaulting her multiple times, harassing her, calling her demeaning names. How do you respond to these accusations?
JOHNSON:
You know, listen. For 60 years on this planet, 31 of which I was a Chicago police officer, and the last almost four as a superintendent, I ve never been accused of anything like that, I ve never forced anyone to do anything to do what they didn t want to do, that s just not my character. It s just not. When people say to me, Why should I believe you? I can t tell you what to believe. I can only tell you who I am.
