Community Music Video Competition
USMC Marching band at the Miramar Airshow
Community Music Video Competition
• Does your community orchestra, band, or choral group provide an outlet for musicians of all ages and levels?
• Do your community members have great stories to share about their musical experiences?
• Does your group have a mission or goal you’d like to share with others?
The Purpose
The video’s “purpose” is to show the joy of music making and inspire others to start learning an instrument. The video should include the following footage: rehearsals, personal commentary from members and volunteers, and concert day. The finished product should be no longer than 10 minutes. The video does not have to be professional quality. The winning group will be picked based on how well the “purpose” comes across.
How To Enter
There is no fee to enroll in the contest. However, in order for your group to enter, a total of five representatives from the group must sign up for LateStarterMusician.com and keep a monthly blog as well as participate in the forums. That’s a total of five blogs for each music group. The five bloggers must fit the Late Starter Musician profile: began their instrument after the age of 13, or are returning to an instrument, or have a disability for which they overcome, or have a career in something other than music. Once registered for the site, each rep must send a message to suggestions@latestartermusician.com with the subject line “CMVC” and in the body say their name and which orchestra they are from.
Once the five reps have signed up for the website and sent the confirm email, your group will be automatically enrolled in the competition. To stay enrolled, however, the five reps must each maintain their blog each month. Technical support for the bloggers will be provided via suggestions@latestartermusician.com. Deadline for enrollment is August 31, 2010.
Deadline for Video Submission is January 15, 2011. Instructions on how to submit the video will be provided once your five reps have entered the website. The winning group will be announced February 15, 2011.
