How to Submit your performance:
VIRTUAL Brooks Music Festival – 10 easy steps!
1. Decide on a comfortable location and time to record your video. The surrounding environment should be quiet
so the audio quality in the video is as good as possible.
2. Decide if you will use your sheet music. Memorization is encouraged, but not required. Go with whatever
makes you most comfortable.
3. Professional recordings are not required. Good audio and visual quality is important, and most smart phones
will provide an adequate video.
Please prop up your recording device on something stable, such as a music stand or tripod. A handheld recording
will create unnecessary movement in your video. Have a parent or family member press record for you.
Recording should include a clear picture of your face/profile, hands (for piano/instrumental entries) and
instrument. Camera angle must be consistent throughout the performance.
4. The adjudicator needs a copy of your sheet music to review. Using a smart phone, camera, or scanner, you can
take a photo of each page of your music along with the cover of the book it is in. If your music is a digital download
include the receipt. PDF or image files are perfect!
5. At the beginning of your video, hold up a piece of paper that has the following information: class number and
class description, participant name, selection, and composer. It would be great to read out the information
before you start – introduce yourself and your performance!
6. When you’re happy with your video, it needs to be uploaded to YouTube as an unlisted video. A tutorial on this
quick and easy process can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOr7JluzEOM
or see instructions on our website www.brooksmusicfestival.ca
7. After uploading, a link will be created. The video is not public, and only those with the link can view the video.
That link will be shared only with the adjudicator and others in your session. Copy the link to an email and attach
your digital sheet music file. The email subject line should read as follows:
Class#_ParticipantName_Selection_Composer
Example: (77670 _JackSmith_DownToBusiness_C. Donkin)
8. Send your email to brooksmusicfestival@gmail.com
9. All submissions are due by February 20, 2021
10. That’s it! The adjudicator will review your submission and provide a written adjudication and certificate. A
zoom workshop will be scheduled with the adjudicator for you and others in your session between March 15 -19.
You’ll receive the playlist of the performances of others in your session and it will be your responsibility to view
these prior to the workshop.
Anyone recommended to the provincial music festival will be notified at the conclusion of the Festival.
If you need any help you can contact us at brooksmusicfestival@gmail.com .
Good Luck and Have Fun! Thanks for participating in the Virtual Brooks Music Festival!

The Brooks Music Festival Association was founded in 1995. From the outset it has served to present an annual festival and to encourage the promotion, advancement and appreciation of the performing arts in Brooks and surrounding communities. We offer a variety of disciplines including Band, Strings, Piano, Choral Singing, Vocal Solos and ensembles, Choral and Solo Speech and Guitar.
Our Festival is non-competitive. We hire qualified adjudicators who, like guest teachers in a ‘master class’ setting, give positive feedback to the performers, and encourage them to be the best they can be. All performers are welcome, regardless of their ages and stages of expertise. The Brooks Music Festival Association is a not-for-profit organization that relies heavily on donations, grants and volunteers. All donations are greatly appreciated and any donation $20 and over will be given a tax receipt. Donations can be mailed to: Brooks Music Festival Association Box 814 Brooks, AB T1R 1B7 Donations can also be given in person at any BMFA event or concert :) If you would like to help volunteer during the festival please contact Joanne Dyck at 403-378-4934. |
