-
During registration period
-
We need to strongly encourage each teacher to register their own students, rather than a student assistant doing it for them
-
National still required the same amount of repertoire as usual
-
No way to make it fair that all judges will listen to all the same rep (i.e. when there are 5 videos)
-
We can cut down requirements as we wish, since we don’t feed Regionals
-
-
3 videos for every category (if possible – Tim will check something with Brad and report back – needs to check if AuditionWare will allow a student to ONLY submit 3, instead of 5 videos in upper categories)
-
(FW) perhaps we prescribe the types of rep for upper categories
-
-
-
No member fee for teachers, but yes for students’ registration fee.
-
15 students per teacher, as we did last year.
-
Accompanying tracks are fine.
-
No sound enhancing mics.
-
All music still memorized.
-
Do we want guests?
-
(BCP) perhaps have several short-ish videos and pay small fees to those that provide them to us
-
Career info? Rep? Grad school?
-
Think on this! Send ideas to Tim and Beth.
-
-
Chapter Meeting?
-
Probably not, but we can send a letter to the members with updates and can vote for things online
-
Perhaps have a Zoom on Oct 31? In the morning? Maybe 9am to be less intrusive on private teachers.
-
They will have already received judging info in email, so this will give them the opportunity to ask questions
-
Could also take care of chapter business
-
More to come!
-
-
-
Videos
-
Good luck to us
-
There doesn’t appear that there is any difference as far as chances to place regarding how things are recorded (fancy studio/phone)
-
Camera in fixed position, no camera angles, stay in the shot
-
Face and most of body
-
No editing, reverb, pitch adjustment
-
One video per song
-
No indication of teacher/school
-
Memorized
-
Must state name, category, piece at beginning of each video
-
Don’t us safari for the web browser (Safari and AuditionWare don’t get along)
-
Select unlisted and disable private settings on YouTube
-
Teacher must submit videos – links have been provided by student
-
Teacher/school indication will mean disqualification
-
-
-
Andrea will work on trying to get a fillable form
-
If we are still in distancing mode for Spring 2021 Meeting, we should try to not cancel, and rather do it virtually.
