I Possible answersDear Beth

I am glad to give you some advice about your music

festival.If the weather is bad, people won't come if it's in the park

or on the school field so it's better to be inside. It rained

all day when we had our festival.

Our school is quite small and we wanted to make sure

we had a big audience. The performers brought all theirfriends with them so that was good.

It's difficult to know how much food to have or whatpeople will eat so it's not a good idea to provide it.

You need to have music people can dance to and some

music that the students' parents will recognise too, so a

mixture is best.

I hope your festival is successful and that you will tell me

all about it.Best wishes

Dear Beth

I am glad to give you some advice about your music

festival.

In summer, it's nice to be in the fresh air and also you

will have more space for dancing so we preferred to be

outside.

We decided we wanted a wide variety of music so we

invited people of different ages to perform. You could ask

the relatives of the students at your school.

You will probably need to sell drinks but it's very hardwork to make food for everyone. You would need lots ofpeople to help so I don't think it's a good idea to provide

it.The most successful performances were the bands

which had young people in them. You could have a bit of

classical music too though as some people enjoy that.

I hope your festival is successful and that you will tell me

all about it.

Best wishes
