Music, Speech & Drama FAQs<\/h3>
         How do I book for the Eisteddfod ?<\/a>

<\/p>\n

All entries are now made on-line through this website. Entries will be open between Monday 2nd September and Friday 4th October 2024. So for Music, Speech & Drama entries go to the Music, Speech & Drama page. Click on the Entry Form button and follow the instructions. The classes are listed there too. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Syllabus and Class Lists (available to download from the Entry page) contain details of all the classes. Please also read the relevant Rules.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can make as many entries as you like, and each entry can contain a number of performances. However a performer is only allowed one performance per class, except in non-competitive classes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When you have submitted your entry we will automatically send you an Acknowledgement email, containing the details of your entry, as a useful reminder, and our payment details. (Check your junk mail folder if it does not arrive.) <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Payment is made by Bank Transfer (BACS), though we will take cheques if necessary. Your entry is not confirmed until payment has been received. When payment has been received we will send you a confirmation email.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For Creative Arts and Dance entries, go to the appropriate discipline page<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

         How much does it cost to take part ?<\/a>

<\/p>\n

Entry to all Music, Speech and Drama classes costs \u00a37.50 per performance, except where shown for the more complex classes. The prices are in the Syllabus and Class Lists and are displayed as you make your entry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Payment must be made by Bank Transfer (BACS). Details will be provided on the Acknowledgement email which is sent immediately after you have submitted the entry. (Check your junk mail folder if it does not arrive.) <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The entry is not confirmed until payment has been received. When payment has been received we will send you a confirmation email.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

         When will I hear about my class times ?<\/a>

<\/p>\n

We will email everyone who submitted an entry no later than Thursday 17th October 2024 with the dates and times and venues of their performances. Please note that this email will go to the school if it was the school who submitted the entry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

         Can I arrange for an official accompanist ?<\/a>

<\/p>\n

Yes the Eisteddfod can arrange an official accompanist, though we would prefer you to bring your own accompanist. The cost is \u00a33 per accompanied performance. If you wish to arrange practice sessions then you need to arrange this, and the cost, with the accompanist; we will give you their contact details.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You need to send a copy of the music to the Entries Manager (Mrs Greta Price, 7 Canada Rise, Market Lavington, Devizes SN10 4AD ) at the time of entering<\/em>, stating the entry number, class and performer's name.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Eisteddfod reserves the right to refuse to accept certain items of repertoire if the complexity of the music is such that preparation time for the accompanist would be too long.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

         Do I have to bring a music stand ?<\/a>

<\/p>\n

No. Music stands will be provided.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

         Why am I not allowed to take away photocopied music after a performance ?<\/a>

<\/p>\n

The use of photo or other facsimile copies of printed music without the permission of the publisher is forbidden and against the law. A copy may be made for the adjudicator provided the performer has an original copy of the music available on the day: the photocopied copy will be retained and then destroyed by the Executive Committee.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

         How does my school or business become an Eisteddfod partner ?<\/a>

<\/p>\n

If your organisation can guarantee a certain number of entries to the Eisteddfod, the festival will give you a benefit package including reduced rate entry fees, free advertising and other marketing initiatives. For further information please see details of the Partnership Scheme on this website, under Information on the menu.<\/p>\n
