All-East Honors Ensembles Update (8.31.20)

The NAfME National Executive Board has approved the postponement of the 2021 Division Conference & All-Eastern Honors Ensembles for Hartford, CT, to now take place in April of 2025. (The 2023 Eastern Division Conference will be held in Rochester, NY.) Eastern Division leaders are now looking into virtual options for the 2021 event.
 

Tips for recordings in Submittable:

  • The maximum video size per file is 400MB – the larger the video, the longer it will take to load (800 MB per submission)
  • mp4 files appear to upload better than .mov files
  • Small rooms with good acoustic qualities will create the best recording
  • A good microphone and a good piece of recording equipment (high end computer or digital recording device) are the two things that can most improve a recording.
