The 2027 PERFORMING ARTS BC PROVINCIAL FESTIVAL Cranbrook, June 5-9 The Association is grateful to our many individual and corporate donors for their sponsorship.
Performing Arts B.C. Festivals Society (Performing Arts BC) is an organization of thirty-four local Member-Festivals located throughout the Province of British Columbia. This Syllabus outlines the rules, regulations and requirements for performers who are recommended by adjudicators at the Local level to proceed to the Provincial level of competition.
The 2026 - 2027 PABC Syllabus is available through the link below. A number of changes have been included for 2027: - The maximum age for Provincial Excellence Dance has been raised to 22, to bring this class in line with music and speech. - Younger competitors recommended for Provincial Excellence classes, but who do not win this class, may, in a subsequent year, be recommended for their age group class instead. This rule only applies to Provincial Excellence classes. - Vocal Variety competitors MUST perform a selection from a different genre than their main class. - Duet classes will now require the performance of only one selection, with a lowering of the entry fee and time limits. - The introduction of a school musical theatre ensemble class in the virtual choral classes. This class will require a video recording.
