Donate Your Worthy Music
- Bring sheet music you would like to pass on to others
- Choral Music, Vocal Music, other instruments, DVDs and CDs
- Single copies from personal libraries or multiple copies from choir libraries welcome
- No photocopies
- No mildewed or damaged music
- Please, sort your music before you bring it (Sorting guidelines below)
Donors can bring music anytime the Festival is in session, from when we start arriving Thursday evening up until Saturday late afternoon. When you bring your music, please help to sort it into the appropriate locations in the room.
We would appreciate a best-guess estimate from each donor of the number of linear feet of music (as if it were on a shelf) each donor has donated. There will be a sheet for reporting that.
Take Home Some Great Music
- Browse through the donated music and take what you wish
- Have impromptu conversations about music with other choral folks
- Boxes and folders will be available for people to take away music with them
- Handtrucks will be available for those bringing or taking away multiple boxes
Anything unclaimed at 5:30 p.m. Saturday will go to paper recycling.
Pass this along to choral folks (and other musicians) to participate, veterans and novices alike!
