What equipment is supplied for bands on the Friday of competion? In the concert & stage band venue, entrants will need to supply their own amps.
Any other questions related to the Concert/stage band and Instrumental Ensemble venue can be directed to Bronwyn Cottle, ph (08) 88631242. Supplied at the rock band venue:
Please check with Rock Band Convenor Heidi Zerk re possibilty to borrow amps or to ask any questions you may have. Can I use CD backing instead of an accompanist in sections other than Contemporary Vocal? CD backing may be used, provided it is an original or authorised CD. In the Piano and Instrumental Sections, the Novice division is open to any entrant who has had 18 months or less tuition on a first instrument only. If an entrant has learnt more than one instrument, then they cannot enter this division. On the entry form, the teacher must sign to verify that the entrant has only been receiving tuition for 18 months or less. What happens if I win in the same division in a section 2 years in a row? If an entrant wins the same division of any section in 2 consecutive years, the following year the entrant must either enter non-competitively or go up to the next division level for that year. In open sections, if an entrant has won the same division in the same section for 2 consecutive years, the following year if they enter that section again, they must do so non-competitively. Where is Balaklava and how do I get there? Balaklava is situated approximately 100kms north of Adelaide. See Directions to Balaklava page. If coming from Adelaide allow at least 90 minutes or more from the GPO, in case of traffic restrictions, road works etc. Where can I stay in the Balaklava area? See the Accommodation page. There is a hotel and a caravan park and a bed and breakfast in Balaklava. In nearby towns, particularly in the Clare Valley in Auburn there are several motels and bed and breakfast places and hotels as well. In Pt Wakefield (only 25kms away) is a caravan park, a motel and holiday units. Will I have time to get to all the different sections I have entered? YES! We work out our programme according to the entries received, noting what multiple sections entrants are in so that no one has to be in two places at once. While there might be a short time frame between some divisions, the venues are in close proximity in Balaklava with most of them within walking distance of each other. Each section's venue booking in office is in constant touch with the other sections' booking in offices, notifying of any delays. Why do you need to know who my accompanist is? This is extremely important for the working out of the programme as we have to make sure the accompanists don't have to be in two places at once. If you don't know who your accompanist is going to be, please let us know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If unsure, but think you know who you will use, please put it on the entry form with "to be confirmed" next to it, just so we have an idea. There are a few accompanists that do a great deal of work on the Saturday in particular. Always remember to ask your accompanist early if they are able to accompany you, preferably before the entry closing date, so that you can put it on your entry form. NO. Finding an accompanist is the sole responsibility of the entrant. We may however suggest names if needed. Please organise your accompanist before the closing date where possible, so it can be indicated on the entry form. When can I expect to receive Entry Forms, programme etc? See the Calendar page for the basic timeline.
