Information for the parent: These pieces will be recorded on video-camera, then posted on a private Youtube channel for private viewing by the adjudicator, music teachers, and other students in the same festival class. No one else will be given access to the Youtube link. Any performances chosen by the adjudicators for our virtual concert will require the parent to sign a permission form to allow us to post this recording on a public Youtube channel. We will not post on this public channel if the parent does not give us permission.
