The annual Perform in Perth festival is continuing successfully despite being held online for the first time, with people from across Perth and Kinross showcasing their talents.
In its centenary year, Perform in Perth has moved online for the 2021 festival amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The festival began on Monday with participants showcasing their drum and xylophone talents.
On Tuesday, competitors performed prepared readings and verse speaking, with participants split into different age groups.
Secretary of Perform in Perth Eileen Waterson praised those who have participated in the festival so far.
“All the fantastic percussion musicians performed for adjudicator Tim Ridley,” she said.
“With pupils mostly unable to be in school, it is remarkable that so many young percussionists have managed to participate this year.”
Perform in Perth president Neil Copland said organisers were “delighted” at the level of interest.
“With 466 entries by the closing date, we were delighted with the response from performers,” he said.
The festival is not awarding marks this year, but has instead adopted a grade system:
P – Performance Certificate
M – Merit Certificate
F – First Class Certificate
H – Honours Certificate
