"Festivals and competitions help paint the picture of how talented a band is. There is quality feedback given to aide any band. Personally, these are invaluable to growth a learning. When a band works hard on a piece, even the teacher might not see areas of improvement. Additionally, positive feedback helps encourage passion within a band community. So, I believe they are important."
