Steve Hendee gave a presentation on a handheld recorder. He recommended use of a recording device to replace
the current cassette tape recorders we are now using will be presented
to the CMEA Bay Section Board within the next few months. This very
possibly will be the Zoom H2 Portable 2-rack SD Recorder. The specific
methods to be used will be determined after a trial period. It will be
recommended that cassette tape be used this festival season (2008). For
the 2009 festival season both cassette tape recorders and the new
recorders may be used (just as we gave the option of using a recording device
or using written comments during that transition). We expect to be
using only the new recording devices for the 2010 festival season.

 The singular most important part of having a successful festival experience is the selection of the music to be performed. Many
fine young musical organizations have had unpleasant experiences at
festivals due to this problem. I believe I speak for the majority of
adjudicators when I say this. Let’s take a few minutes and explore this
subject.

Prelude
Everyone wants his or her performance group to do well at a festival. This is a
time when our peers evaluate our musical organizations; therefore, it
is a time when the results of our teaching are exposed to all. The
purpose of this article is to outline some of the dos and don't in
festivals. In discussion with countless adjudicators during the years a
consensus of ideas has come forth. Some are objective and apply to
every type of performance group. Some are more subjective as a result
of the nature of music as an art form and are therefore not "written in
stone". Finally, there are some subliminal things, which can effect
performance evaluation. These are often the difference between one
scoring level and another.
